Before Fenja left for Denmark, she sent me these texts:
18 Dec 2006 - "You did the right thing. The brave thing. Always take hats off for honest people and that's what you proved to be today."
18 Dec 2006 - "If I forget to tell you tomorrow, I'm really gonna miss you and you are an amazing girl and a totally wonderful friend." (In the still of the night, this one made me cry buckets under my duvet!)
20 Dec 2006 - "My darling Angel. In the airport now and just wanted to check how you are. Take care of yourself okay! Love Fenja."
She sent the last one from Dubai International Airport, before flying to Vienna.
