i INTRODUCE MYSELF TO YOU

My name is Mirella Schlegel Gross. Schlegel is the name of my father, Gross then is the name of my husband. My uncle gave me the name Mirella which is very rare.
My age is today 56 years, 6 months and 2 days - middle aged.
I am from Switzerland, I was born there, but my mother was born in Italy and went to Switzerland in the Year 1945,
So I am half Italian and half swiss.
When I was 4 years old, I had to learn german but because I was very young I learnt it very fast and easily.
My interests are swimming in the summertime, but not in wintertime in a House with aswimmingpool.
I like to listen to the radio very much. I do that every day for 2 hours and I am interested in Sozialthemata, Politics all over the word and last but not least classical music.
My family existed only for 4 years, then my father went away and left us, my brother Viktor and my mother, alone.
So my mother had to go to work to earn money and I was too young, so they put me in a house for children. There i grew up, with a lot of other children, we went out for school to the normal school, but we are wearing special clothes. When the time came to get out, I wasn't happy, because I felt at home there. So I was 15 years old when I went back to my mother, but we didn't know about each other and I was just in my mid teens, so we had a lot of problems. later on it was better. I do not have a lot of true friends, we call them in Switzerland different. My best friend is also my husband. But I have also an old friend, we went to professioal school together and since then we spent a lot of time together.
