Karin

This is so odd. Very strange thing...

As I cleaned the bookself during the weekend, I found an old letter. It is in german, a cheerful greetings from my penpal Karin Meier from DDR, written in 8.9.1989. A week earlier she had given birth to a lovely baby girl Anne.

To my wonder I could understand the german letter thoroughly :)
It would be nice to find her, so I saved the letter - to try to search her.

But what happened...?

Today, as I was arranging our storage, I found a photo. It was behind our refridgerator (I really do not know how it has ended down there...) in the photo there is Karin Meier - again - holding her baby Anne in her lap, bathing in sunshine. Happy and joyful.

I'm shivering. Feeling cold. A peculiar insidence.

I now feel I nearly have to try to find my penpal or her daughter. I do not recall why we stopped writing... I wonder what is she doing, where is she? She had boyfriend/ husband called Niko at that time.

Please let me know, if you have heard about Karin?
