Today was the birthday of my mother and she invites me and some other family members to the garde. Of course it was about Kaffee und Kuchen and her birthday. We sat there, talking about this and that for many hours. We enjoyed the day, although the weather cooled a bit down. But since it was way too hot over the last week, everyone enjoyed the fresh weather today. We had many cakes, but this time I only shot a photo of an apple cake… Continue reading Mom’s Birthday
Above is a photo for my food and phoneography category, since the snapshot was taken with a phone. A few days ago when the weather was good, my mother invited me and we sat on her balcony. We planned to eat something together but we weren’t creative and decided to eat something simple, french fries with steak and onions and different sauces we wanted to try. It was simple but very tasty. Continue reading French Fries And Steak With Onions
Two weeks ago my uncle came into the hospice and we visited him every day. Today in the morning around 8am he fell asleep and died a peaceful death. Generally, his last weeks have been very peaceful without pain. We told him a lot of nice things, but he couldn’t answer anymore but he did not unlearn how to smile.

There have been silent moments, or moments where we talked about past days and other beautiful things and … Continue reading Rest In Peace Uncle

Above is a photo of my cat Shyna that I shot when we temporary moved to Reinfeld to support my uncle who got a brain tumor diagnosis. The photo reminds me of moments when my uncle smiled, because Shyna did apart from me of course, only trust my uncle. In other words, only me and my uncle were allowed to cuddle with her. My uncle always had dogs and never cats, but even if there was this shitty diagnosis, my cat managed it to make him smile, and maybe forget for a moment what the doctors just told us all. … Continue reading Things Are Now Tougher
I talked about this a couple of times on my blog, my uncle is terminal ill as he got the Glioblastoma Grade IV brain tumor diagnosis one and a half-year ago. We’re happy that he is still under us and he is doing ok, but it’s definitely already visible where we’re heading to. The sad truth is that he is not in the good old shape anymore. The tumor does wreck him, but very slowly. On one side we’re happy to still have time with him, on the other side it’s just sad to see the slow process caused by … Continue reading Thinking About Disease And Death
