That's terrible news. When you hadn't posted regularly, I assumed you were on a well-deserved vacation. I wish that had been the case....

I had, indeed, been on family holidays but had to return 5 days earlier after my mum’s phone call. In even tried posting daily again - writing is my form of meditation - but right now it’s all too much.

Thank you for the kind words, Frederick.

Thankyou for the lovely photo of you and your Dad. A real Bismark style moustache. I'm sorry to read of your Dad's illness. No wonder you and you Mum are distraught. Keep strong and remember their love for you is as large as yours for them. And don't worry if you can't post regularly, ok. We, the readers, are lucky to have your posts whenever.

Liebe Beata, das ist eine sehr traurige Erklärung für das Ausbleiben Deiner sehr geschätzen täglichen topographischen Streifzüge durch Berlin! Hoffentlich übersteht Dein lieber Vater diese schwere Prüfung unbeschadet. Herzliche Grüße
