I do believe so Paul, and i have to say, after the funeral serevice i said goodbye to my admiral, and something slipt of my shoulders.
Over the past year, i had to take every time a bit more care on my shoulders, and i did this with love, but in the back off my mind, i was hoping that what i did was good, and that became a bit of a burden in my mind, but when i said my last farewell to my Admiral, that slipped away from me, so i believe that it was

Good

Grant, thank you for your words my friend, and during my last farewell to my Admiral, her brother brought a bottle of Ouzo, and we all said cheers to Marijke,
and we took a sip of the Ouzo.
This is a time of grief indeed, but on the other hand, i am so glad that she is away from her agony, because that is what it had become.

Cheers my friend, to Marijke

Last monday, my little Admiral passed away, after a dreadfull few weeks, and now after a few day's i have come to realize how tired i have become.
The care for my Admiral went on in the last few weeks both day and night, with just a few moments of rest.
Now i have to find myself back again, and if that is done i hope to return to the shipyard.

greetings Peter, Hope to see you back soon.

Hi Rob,

Thank you for your reply, this are sad days, but but on the other hand, she is no longer in agony, and that is the most important for me, because it where harsh days and nights for the last weeks

Peter,hi.

I was in hospital last Christmas, which was the best I've ever had.

However, throughout that period it was sobering to see and hear those dreadfully suffering their last days.

I was fortunate to have made friends (no matter how briefly) with a gnarled old Scotsman in the next bed, who passed peacefully before me as I held his hand.

How thin the veil between this world and the next.

May good blessings surround you in this season.
Joy can dwell with release.
 
My dearest friend. I have just read the news about Marijke. I am so sorry and so touched by your care of her. All I want to do is to be able to give you a very big hug and tell you that things will get easier - but of course, right now, that means very little. Rest assured that you had a beautiful marriage and that you loved each other very much. Rest assured that you have done everything you could do for her and that she was very much aware of that. Rejoice in the fact that she no longer has to suffer the pain and agony and that she is - without doubt - in a better place. My thoughts are with you; my friend and I will pray for you to receive the strength and courage to cope with this difficult time.

Heinrich my friend, you spoke the right words about Marijke and me. We did have a great marriage, with a lot of beautyful moments, and that wil remain. Those memories last forever.
In the essence of the upcoming Christmas Days it wil give some comfort and, knowing that she no longer has to suffer, i prais her life, and the joy she gave.

She climbed the hill, and is in a better world.
 
Apologies for the late Birthday wishes, my friend. May 2026 be a year in which you enjoy good health and receive enough strength to cope with the difficult times.
