One moment in time
Today, a friend and I are going to visit another friend. He's had cancer for a while now, and he's not doing too well. We try to visit him as often as we can, but sometimes we are afraid to wear him out by our visits. He needs rest and peace, but most of all: he needs love and friendship. Our visits always cheer him up. I try to visit him when he's in the hospital for chemotherapy. It makes time go by faster for him. And it gives him the chance to tell about his life and what keeps him busy. He's a very special man. He knows he's running out of time. He knows he won't be around much longer. He makes the best of it. How does one do that..

Dorie, ik zal al wel te laat zijn ... Maar breng maar eens héél veel groetjes over van mij, als je wilt.
Ik vind het overigens sjiek dat jullie blijven gaan, meid. Dat is niet evident, maar jullie doen het toch maar. Ik weet dat jij dat maar normaal vindt, maar dat is het echt niet, geloof me. Chapeau. Jullie zijn prachtdames!
Ferre is een prachtig mens Upje. Ik heb het gevoel dat we allemaal veel van hem kunnen leren, over de waarden in het leven. Als ik hem liefdevol zie omgaan met zijn vrouw, kinderen en kleinkinderen, dan kan ik alleen maar bewondering voor hem hebben...
