Sometimes I got the feeling that I fitted in better in Canada than in the Netherlands. There I was the centre of attention, and here I am just an old man who is often overlooked. This is also down to myself, because in the Netherlands I withdraw more and more. I can see that things will work out anyway without me. With Maaike in Canada, I got the feeling I was the most important person in the family. That’s nice again…. in its own time!
