Who's that girl?



Where's my baby...where is the little girl that came into this world, 3 weeks earlier than expected? Where has she gone? When did she begin to grow so tall? 

We planned this pregnancy very carefully. We wanted another baby to love and honour. We wanted you.  And you were everything we longed for. 

You're 12 now. You have your own bank account and social security number. You have a pin code to pay for your own little treats. Many kids want to be your friend, because you are such a fun person to hang out with. Your friends come see you when they are in trouble. They tell you their most secret stories and you keep them to yourself. You are very likable and unique.

You are going away soon. You have picked a boarding school you wish to attend in September. I will miss you big time. And I know you will miss me back. Because we are so much alike. You are a mini-version of me, but better. More refined. More tolerant. More you, than me. I love you for who you are. You're my girl..

Dat is inderdaad de jongste, die vroeger in het zwemteam zat.
Ze heeft zelf haar internaat gekozen en het wordt Hemelsdaele in Brugge. Ze wil dit al 2 jaar en binnenkort gaat het dus gebeuren hè. Ze is trouwens al ingeschreven van in november.

Kennissen van ons uit Sint-Niklaas hebben hun zoon ook op internaat in Brugge. Hij had het ook zelf beslist.
Blijkbaar is Brugge populair onder de jongeren.

Ik denk dat mijn moeder in Hemelsdaele is geweest, maar da's wel 60 jaar geleden.

Ik heb ook liever dat ze in Brugge op internaat zit dan in Gent.

Eva vindt het super dat jouw mama ook op internaat gezeten heeft in Hemelsdaele!
