Today will be a little different. Instead of a post about myself and my life, I would like to write about another person, or should I say couple. This is about Jan and Elisabeth Fast. They have been married for 30 years now, and are still going strong! This is a couple everyone should be looking up to. I may not know them perfectly but I have spent the past weeks around them and have seen that true love really DOES exist. Elisabeth is a loving mother, who puts her children and husband always first. Her job as a mother is a 24/7 job that she does every day gladly with a smile on her face. Her english isn´t perfect but she´s trying and that means a lot to me, it shows me that she has a dedication and is open to something new. She makes sure the house is clean, that everyone has everything they need and so so much more. Then there is Jan, the fisher, house-repairer and everything do-er. This man is like superman! There is nothing he CAN´T do! He makes sure everything in the house is fully functioning, that the family is fed and that his wife wakes up and goes to bed with a smile on. That´s a real man in my eyes. A man with priorities and knows what he wants and needs in his life. They are the definition of a team: when one falls, they both fall. The one cannot function without the other and that is how a marriage should be. Sure they fight but they don´t give up. Sure they probably bash heads and disagree but in the end they always end up making up and life goes on. They accept that everything that happens will only benefit them in the learning experience and help them fix things better in the future. I feel like they deserve a bit of praise because I honestly haven´t personally met a familiy so tight and close like the Fast family. In 2014, that is quite the astonishment for me. I love my family and always will but sometimes I wish my family ended up like theirs. I miss feeling like a have a family. Eating dinner together, talking about our days and just enjoying life. That seems to be the thing here in Sweden, or so it seems. Well, time to go enjoy the summer weather in Sweden. Hej då!

Das hast Du aber süß geschrieben. Klar ist es schön wenn es noch so einen Zusammenhalt gibt, leider findest du dies heute nur noch sehr selten in dieser Tempozeit. Du weisst es selbst, man muss täglich aufs neue kämpfen um einigermaßen über die Runden zu kommen, da bleibt oft keine Zeit mehr für Harmonie und Zweisamkeit..... Leider
