for simon

For my cousin Simon, with who I spent many weekends and holidays

as a child.

On the first picture you see us on the doorstep of our grandparents 

house. I always think I remember this moment, but I wonder if that's 

possible because I'm wearing diapers. 

What I do remember is a stormy night in the Michelvanhammestraat, 

laying each in a big bed and hearing scary noises.  

And of course we have a special bond since we watched a Bruce Lee

movie and I wanted to teach you judo and you got me in the hospital ;). 

No worries, it wasn't your fault, I was a bad teacher.

I wish we could see each other more often these days. Being both busy

it's difficult to . But you know that "out of sight, out of mind"

doesn't hold true!

Happy birthday Simon!
