Christmas



Our first Christmas with my dad gone.
How I wish my dad were with us still.
And that my mom could be here instead of 14 000 km away all the way down at the bottom of Africa.

A low-key day here in the Nether Lands:
We're off to the in-laws for good food and kindness.
My father-in-law is getting older, so is my mother-in-law, but his skin seems so grey lately, and I worry about him.

Hope your Christmas will be blessed.
And by blessed I mean that you have patience and love for others.
A grateful heart.
I hope I have those things too.
The world as I know it could all be so very much worse.
