When I entered my 60th live year I made a plan...
And I gave myself a present ... the questions/book 'an interview with your parents' written by René Diekstra.
His column, 'Intimate Strangers', never let go of me. Go and interview your parents before it's to late.
Unfortunately I can't ask my parents anymore. But another of his columns (of November 12, 2020) gave me another idea ...Don't wait for someone to ask, but write it yourself.
The older I get, the more curious I am about what kind of people they were, as a child, as a teenager and as adults. What were their hopes, dreams and in what circumstances did they grow up, what was it like with friends and family and above all ... how did that shape them. And indirectly also me.
So too late. And maybe it is also something you wonder when they are no longer there, but more I think that you only wonder when you are a bit older yourself. I don't think when I was my kids' age now that I was curious about it or wanted to take the time. So I'm not going to wait for that either - but interview myself.
