Well, this day truly turned my life around... I was at the airport in San Fancisco and supposed to leave for home (Germany) after an extended visit with friends in Fremont, CA. Due to the tragic events all flights were cancelled and I had to go back to my friends home. It was so devastating and I was really scared to fly afterwards and stayed a few more weeks. During this time my friend teased me and said she would find me a man on the internet. Even though I was NOT looking, we posted an ad just for fun. 2 days later I got a response and really thought my friend wrote that b/c it described exactly the kind of partner I would have wanted if I would have been seriously looking. To make a long story short, she didn't, I met the guy and one week later we got married and I'm a proud American citizen now and we live happily ever after...
BTW... he was Mitzi's dad and I thought if a single guy has such a delicate tiny dog and takes care of her all by himself he can't be all that bad...
And that's how a terrible tragedy made me the happiest woman on earth and how I became Mitzi's mom...
