last week Dominique came over for the first time since Leslie lives here and this week Leslie's sister Lizzy came over as well. so we have a family xmas this year. I am gonne enjoy it to the max and yesterday we went for a night stay to a beautiful chateau in the city of Valkenburg in the South of the Netherlands. We had lots of fun!

it has been a while and a lot has happened during the last month. on November 9 I got the message that cancer is back and cannot be cured anymore. That is a big blast in our face and it took a while to accept the concequences of that message. We did deceide to go for a week holliday to Tenerife to process it all before starting with a chemo treatment. By the way not to cure but to lenghten my life a bit. So our sun holliday in our private hacienda was as good as it gets. It did drain some energy but it was worth it. We also celebrated possibly my last Thanksgiving but it does not make me go in panic so far. I guess it's part of life (and death) but I feel extremely sad to leave Leslie behind in the close future. We will see how things evolve from here!
