Full of joy
Haarlem, 25 June 2020

Oma Z
It is somewhere in the mid-90s as I visit my grandmother in The Hague. I am in my mid-twenties. Normally the whole family would be there, usually on her birthday. But this is not her birthday, it is just me and her. Her reputation of a divider…

I spoke with a dad because Yaron wanted to play…

The Christmas Lockdown
Haarlem, 15 December 2020
Today is the last day of my son’s day care. Full lockdown #2 starts tomorrow. Yaron is 2,5 years old, so he is too young to be left alone. As my wife is the one with the important job I will be the one…
