I wake up early and glance out of the window, suddenly alert, the melody and words of an old hymn flood my mind.<\/p>\n

\n

When morning gilds the skies<\/p>\n

My heart awakening cries\u2026<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

And then I lift my iPhone and\u00a0 <\/span>record the joy to share with Instagram friends.<\/p>\n

As I tinker with the wording, a message alert from Fontis-Verlag<\/a> lights up the screen.<\/p>\n

Fontis -Verlag is the German publisher of my autobiography, \u201cMeine Krone in der Asche<\/a>\u201c(\u201cA Garland for Ashes\u201d) .<\/p>\n

They are sharing an Instagram story about a new blog they have just posted,\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cEin Abschied F\u00fcr Immer<\/a>\u201d (\u201cGoodbye Forever\u201d).<\/p>\n

It is the 84th anniversary of the forever parting from my parents at K\u00f6ln Hauptbahnhof.<\/p>\n

I have forgotten\u00a0 <\/span>that today\u2019s date is July 24, when we said our last goodbye but Fontis-Verlag has remembered.<\/p>\n

And then I sit still and remember\u00a0 <\/span>this morning\u2019s sky and ponder the rest of the words of that old hymn, as I embrace the meaning of today\u2019s anniversary.<\/p>\n
