When your grandmother passes away

Today my grandmother passed away. I stayed with her all day to help her pass the most difficult day in her life. She struggled herself through the last hours and she behaved very brave and strong. It was for me until now the most beautiful day in my life. It made me feel what life is about, love until the very end. You feel so helpless these last moments, as the only thing you can do is to be present and keep her lips wet. But at the same time you know it has to be this way, you understand, you feel so close to the one suffering and fighting to stay alive. Today I experienced the true mistery in life.

Dank u oma dat ik er bij mocht zijn, dank u oma dat je mijn oma was. Ik zie je graag, het ga je goed!
