Family drama's
These last few weeks there have been (at least) 3 family drama's in the Netherlands.
Family drama usually means there's a parent who commits suicide and takes his/her children with him/her.
Yesterday there was another one. A father shot his mother in law and jumped with his 2 sons (4 and 6 yr old) in front of the train.
I am shocked.
Appalled.
I,
I just do not get this.
And i wish i had not heard of it.
These things are too gruesome.
But i also understand that you have to be absolutely bottom-down desperate in order to even begin thinking of this.
I said to Robbert; whatever happens with us (the father was not allowed to see his children) please promise me, you will never get this desperate. There is Always a way out.
Probably a painful one. And definitely not an easy one. But this is beyond my imagination.

So glad i heard from you! Don't know what's wrong but i mailed you to about 2 weeks ago. And i keep falling out with wordpress!
Anyhow.
Over here things are extremely busy.
Both professional (we working with 3 people at the office, 4th startin in May, considering a housemove, 20 people on the payroll; woooh, scary but exciting) and private;\As it happens today some buyer will arrive at my granddad's house to see what he wants to have, things have to be arranged to empty the rest. My sister is coming back for good (till their next adventure i guess)and in particular this easter. Morten is playing tennis and judo-ing (has the yellow belt now)and is going on a judocamp half May. Caroline is such an actress. Really, she just gets worse every day. all 3 have been to the hairdresser last saturday. Sooo cute. Timo is sleeping over at Reollo's tonight. We finally had a new heating thing installed and this friday the cellarfloor will be repaired. We've had someone over for an estimate for a new bathroom.
I have got a wicked haircut.
Robbert's been biking a lot because he wants to make a big trip in Italy in the first week of July.
HOpe you and Joel are OK. Write me at the interimworx addy. That should be able to receive normally!!
