This is the story about the man I love. In 2003, 20 years ago, we met on a Sunday night.  It was as lightning struck us. You could feel the energy between us. I knew that instant that he was always going to be my favorite. The first 17 nights we stayed together before separating for the first time. It was like living on a pink cloud.

We were still very young and both living in different cities and studying. We graduated one month after each other and after 4,5 years we started to live together. I was sent to Malawi for work. And during a visit, in the country where being different and being queer, has huge consequences for your safety, I decided to give a Big F*ck You, and asked Friso to marry me.  In 2011 in front of all our loved ones we got married.

Being who you want to be and be proud of it is very important to us. This is not a thing to take light. We must fight for others and celebrate that we can be proud. We have been very lucky and blessed to have found each other. Everyday is joy to have Friso next to me. Fast forward to 2023 where we will celebrate being together for 20 years. Friso is still and always will be my favorite. I love you @frisobootsmaThis... is our BIG LOVE Story. A story EVERYONE deserves!

Lots of love.
