Gelukkige Tiende Verjaardag – Happy 10th Anniversary
Gelukkige Tiende Verjaardag
I fall in love with her every day as we wake and the first thing I see is her sleeping face, every time she smiles as she wakes. Her smile is the sun rising into my life. For eight years I have seen her smiles deepen the laugh lines like parentheses on her lovely cheeks, setting her mouth off from the sentence of her face as though it were a secret known only to me.â€
These words were written by Judith a couple of years ago as part of a lovely story of love, passion, and wonderful celebratory sex. Ever since I read these words the passage stuck in my mind having sparked one of those “Yes!†moments.
Cees, Peter, Mia, Nonke and I would like to wish Judith and Nina a very happy anniversary, May 12th will mark their 11th year together.
If you are new to this site, or a casual visitor you might not be aware of the extraordinary and painful events that brought them together, but from that dreadfull time we have watched this beautiful partnership grow as they have both grown. Despite some continuing challanges they have forged ahead to build a nurturing home for four children.
When Nina started dating Judith I seriously wondered if poor Nina had any idea of what she was getting herself into but then as I came to know her I realised that she knew exactly what she had gotten into, indeed she was just where she wanted to be. She has a warrior spirit and one who had found a cause she that felt was worth fighting for, it was perfect timing and Judith’s very good fortune. In return Judith brought the partnership the stability offered by a rock solid family ethic and the discipline of a sharply focused mind.

When I have chatted with Judith and Nina or read their blog posts, and they have mentioned each other and shown in one way or another how much they love each other, I have always smiled and felt warm inside, very happy for them both. It’s like the love they have for each other is spreading around them to even include their friends in a way, if that makes sense. I even get the same feeling when you talk about them now, Tyjardia.
So from me too, with less than an hour left of the day: Happy 10th Anniversary, Gelukkige Tiende Verjaardag. Good luck with the next 10 years, Judith and Nina!
Hey folks! Judith – sorry I haven’t replied to your email yet!
But I wanted to say a very warm congratulation to you both. You’re an inspiration I believe, to both straight and gay families alike. Because your’s is built on a fiery and passionate love and desire to protect you and yours. And the amount of adversity you deal with daily would be more than enough to break some couples apart, but it’s made you stronger.
Lots of love to you all xo
Congratulations!
Your family is a special thing and together you make the world a better place.
Be well, and many many returns.
