I dropped my mother off at the airport after an extended stay with us at de Wijnlanden. It was special times to entertain the eighty-eight year old lady with small little things, but also to realize how difficult life is for the elderly. She walks with difficulty, fights anxiety and loneliness, suffers insomnia and struggles with ordinary chores. Yet, she still reads a lot of books, sustains intelligent conversations and enjoys a few glasses of wine supporting her healthy appetite for good food.
