tomatoes and cucumbers never die




This thursday I was welcome to join nurse Ella visit Mrs Z, shortly after she lost her husband. I met them in november last year, to talk about Ella for the Role Model Project

The interior of the living room changed due to the absence of the bed in the living room where Mr Z spent his last weeks. 

I went to make coffee in the kitchen and found a note from the husband to his wife on a whiteboard hanging next to the door: Ik hou nog veel van jou, 8-05-2015, niet huilen. Underneath grocery items were written that needed to be bought: tomaten, komkommer. 

The message filled the whole house and went straight for my heart. 

Mrs Z will help me to make a portrait of Ella, who was there four times a day for her husband.
