Today is Mira birthday! Amazingly, the last couple of years she has not turned any older. I can’t tell you what it’s like to have a wife that stays forever young…<\/p>\n
The other historic event today is that I walked the ‘Avondvierdaagse’ for the first time since 22 years, together with Rosa. This is a typical Dutch tradition: a four-night, 5 km walk around town with all primary schools. Rosa did it very well both yesterday (the first day) and today, she is ‘only’ four, but walked almost the entire tour herself. At first she did not want to go, but Mira said she would win a medal if she did. That made her do it, but than later she asked what a medal actually is \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
