Abstract

nd yes, it was my choice. We both know that. For me you left seven years ago and only a month ago I realized how wrong I was. You were there, in your room. But you have to admit that I had never seen you in it before. I was used to you waiting for me in the yard with open arms, wearing your white and blue t-shirts, with your coffee by your side and the backgammon already ready for a game. Greeting me with your sweet voice. The voice that disappeared in just one night. In a year everything had changed. Your body was no longer strong, you no longer ate with the appetite you always had, you didn’t get up because you just couldn’t. Alzheimer said the doctors.

To the man that was the greatest human being possible

Telling the world about a life changing moment is dangerously scary in my eyes. And that’s because you allow others to see who you were before that moment, who you have become after that and most importantly; the way you got where you are now.

So, forgive my cowardice and allow me to speak directly to the person responsible for changing my way of seeing life.

It’s been a while since we last talked. I know. And I know it’s my fault. And yes, it was my choice. We both know that. For me you left seven years ago and only a month ago I realized how wrong I was. You were there, in your room. But you have to admit that I had never seen you in it before. I was used to you waiting for me in the yard with open arms, wearing your white and blue t-shirts, with your coffee by your side and the backgammon already ready for a game.
