I came across this T-shirt advertising on Facebook and I realize it is totally applicable to me.
I immigrated to Canada 1966 and lived there for 45 years, until 2011 when I moved to Utah, United States.
I have spent most of my life AWAY from Denmark where I was born and raised, but even though most of my life has been lived OUTSIDE Denmark, DENMARK WILL ALWAYS LIVE IN ME.
I have been married twice. Both were Danes.
I am very happy that I am married to a Dane who understands the core of ME and with whom I can speak the Danish language daily.
My deceased daughter Sussie Linda Neumann Johansen, was also born in Denmark and married a Dane in Canada. Linda was always proud of being a Dane and was very adamant about keeping Danish traditions.
Her husband parents also immigrated to Canada, So, their 9 children all are PURE Danes, even though they are Canadians born and raised in Canada.
Being a Dane is the core of what I am and who I am and I am proud of having Danish blood in me.
