Beste Boomer-vrienden, ik vlieg met de zoon van mijn zus naar Sint Maarten voor een waardig afscheid van zijn vader – het is zijn wens, omdat mijn zus het niet kan verdragen. Het gebeurde op 11 september 2021: na een prachtige boottocht ging hij 's avonds naar bed, wisselde hij welterustenkusjes uit en draaide zich om – om vervolgens te overlijden. Het was een tragedie. We krijgen deze reis gratis aangeboden door het hotel. De zoon van mijn zus werkt al 25 jaar op Schiphol – petje af voor hem – en heeft een prachtige gouden speld gekregen; hij wil die graag bij de urn van zijn vader leggen als we terug zijn in Nederland. Een mooi en ontroerend gebaar. Ik sta hem bij! Veel liefs en een fijn weekend, Dayenne en Sebastiaan.
“I ask God every day to lead me, guide me and direct me, to take the wrong people out of my life, put the right people in. As I get older, I’m even stronger in my faith.” – Dolly Parton ~ Love Dolly Parton and duets with handsome Kenny Rogers. Sweet dreams friend.
“When I talk to a man, I can always tell what he’s thinking by where he’s looking. If he’s looking at my eyes, he’s looking for intelligence. If he’s looking at my mouth, he’s looking for wisdom. If he’s looking anywhere else except my chest, he’s looking for another man.” – Dolly Parton

Prayers for those impacted by storms, outages and sweltering heat. Please when thunder roars stay in doors. So sad a mother and one of her rain daughters lost their lives, strike by lightning....Be careful friend
Make us strong again, and we, your people, will praise you. Show us your constant love, O Lord, and give us your saving help. Psalm 85:6-7 Good News Translation ~ Check-in Grace and peace good night friend
