"Saturday's alright."
I was a tiny bit nervous to see Dad's grave again today, but off I went. Kinda weird aswell to be back in Dad's village, can't explain why actually. Maybe it was the fact that I been here in this village alot, only to visit my Dad. But now he's gone, passed away. Yes, I'm here to visit him, but differently.. I felt kinda dizzy and weird while on my way to Dad's village, once on the graveyard I was okay. I had to walk quit a bit but the weather was great. Sunshine, blue sky, though cold, but hey, it's Winter! I have been living in Nijverdal for almost 30 years, alot has changed since then.
They are building a huge train tunnel in Nijverdal, (Dad's village) it's amazing to see how big and huge it is. They have been building on this bridge for quit a while now, in 2008 the builders started digging and creating this tunnel. This year, somewhere in March the first trains will ride trough this tunnel. I'm sure will be there, today I had a little peek at the new train station aswell, wow, just wow! That must have cost something, unbelievable!
At the graveyard I walked slowly towards my Dad's grave, I should actually say my parents grave. Both my Mom and Dad are laying here, it's a double grave. The flowers were still nice, even though it freezed last night. The smell of the white roses were nice too, it was kinda strange standing at the grave. You can't actually do anything, I talked a bit to Dad, just in myself, sayed a prayer and just stood there. I'm glad I could spend time with him the last two years, for the same reason I could have still been in Canada. I'm happy I returned.
