The start of all... All gegan in 1978, when Ekkehart and me, Sabine, married in July, 21st in the north of Germany where we are from. In that time Ekkehart was studying theology. I first was working as a bookseller in a bookstore, but then began to study theology, too. One year later our first son, Simon, was born. That was in october, 1979 in Hamburg. Because we didn´t want to have a single child for a long time, we desided to get the next one, what was Hanna (in January, 30th, 1982) And not much later Jonas was born in November 11th, 1983. It was not as simple as that to study any longer with two children. But when the third was born I desided to break off my studies for to stay at home for education of our children. That was the time when Ekkehart had finished his studies and began to work as a pastor in Stade, not far away from Hamburg. In Stade the next children were born: The first of these was Jonas, then when I was pregnand with Judith, Christian (born in september, 1985) came into our family. We adopted him at the age of 5 some years later. Judith was born in May, 1987, and three years later our last one, Justin, in May 1990. In 1993 we moved to Mülheim in the "Ruhr Area" because Ekkehart wantet to change his working place. In Mülheim the children grew up, got new friends and relationships, and life became easier for me. I could help in the church, and I liked to get more responsibilities there. In time I am the church secretary, working half a day in the office of our church. My husband is my boss! |
