18-07-1972 / 18-07-2005....our Norwegian adventure is over...

Today Bernadette took the plane (KLM of course) back to the Netherlands after 33 years in Norway. A great adventure got its final blessing. We had a great time together, whatever the outcome finally was to be. We had a good life, a great house(s), 2 beautiful children Sebastiaan and Veronica ( and together with their partners for life Bart and Marjolijn they gave us already 4 grandchildren, Casper, Robin, Marius and last but not least little Lucas) and lots of friends who will be very disappointed now Bernadette returns "home".

But it was the right decision. Made after real tough considerations, taking into account the good life she had here, regardless of her handicap. It was time to go home, and so she did.
We will all miss you, but we wish you all the happiness, prosperity and good fortune, you deserve it. And thank you for all the love, friendship and happiness you spread around you here in Norway.....

And it was moving to hear that so many people turned up at the Airport to welcome her back in her native country, so she would have the best start possible...
