[svandamme]

just back from Theo... he's keeping strong, he's obviously sad and lonely, misses his wife..
But he's not letting himself slide away in a puddle of pain... he hasn't lost the will to live so to speak...


I always enjoy visiting him, reminds me so much of my late granddad... and he tells good stories from when they were kid, stuff hardly any of my uncles even know...

And it's a good way to destress after work...

On normal days, i get home, rush to get my food ready... and i go to sleep with my work on my mind...

Not so when i visit Theo...I feel comfortable , like i was at my grandpa's place...
work is gone from my mind...and i slow down from the fast work pace....

I just can't help but think, that the older generation had a nicer way of dealing with life.
And each generation since, seems a bit more watered down in terms of "class"... exceptions to the rule exist, i'm talking the averages...
