Bring Them All Back To Life

After two long flights, followed by a long drive to the town, apart from Juultje's beautiful smile, it was this double scoop magic that soothed me. "I was the match and you were the rock, maybe we started this fire." Barbecue in the evening :) Make a wish. Always having wished to find a dandelion, I was beyond ecstatic to find this on our evening stroll by the fields Stained glass windows, stories through the light, what a thing it is to watch those coloured impressions on the floor that no one cares to look at .

Chase your dreams. Have the bravery and determination enough to break all chains that discourage you. In the end, the shadows you see on the ground are just the imprints you have left behind, inspiring thousands.
