I wrote this in Dutch for my downstairs neighbour on his 50 years marriage anniversary. Titia translated it for me. as if I was entering a different world one full of joy and people dancing wild the other merely a room with cool white walls in fading evening light, the invalid in bed, pale face her hands tied, so she couldn't hurt herself In her eyes only the fear of not understanding enduring pain from dawn till dawn everlasting and then there's him, her husband, trying his best to ease her life again and again his life is only duty, performed by love, because now he's only living for her Life on the internet begins at...90! |

Muys darling girl OH MY This is simply stunning writing, utterly utterly stunning. How beautiful the words in this are, the flow is as smooth as silk, the phrasing perfect, and the timing is absolutely spot on. Without a doubt you are the best at capturing a thought in a net of wonder.    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

How touching that the husband takes such good care of his wife in her time of need. Some love’s can overcome the greatest of challenges laid before them. Everything is possible in the game of life |

Dear Mom, I just want you to know that it is a pleasure to translate your poems, because there's so much passion in them. Go on writing, there are a lot more in you, I know. TitiaA rose is a rose is a rose...I guess... |
