Dear Eva,

The few encounters we had were very special. You helped me understand what my relationship with my garden could be. We worked together just last month on a flowerbed. You took the lead in breaking stones and together we piled them up, and you gave me confidence to enjoy the process. We talked of life and many things as we worked. When it was time for you to leave, the sun came out and I told you that you were the little Buddha in my garden. You happily posed for this photo.

I am so sad you have left us, and send all my best wishes and strength to your children, who you spoke about with true love and admiration.

Het is een paar jaar geleden dat we elkaar zagen. Elke keer was er wederzijds blijdschap om elkaar weer te zien, nadat onze jongens niet meer op de Margriet zaten.

Naast hoe het met de jongens na de lagere school ging, was er de buurt en de zorg voor groen als grote gemeenschappelijke interesse. Na elk gesprek was er iets geraakt bij mij, om verder over na te denken 💭 Zo heb je mij inzichten gegeven van begrip en compassie.

Dankje lieve Eva
