Reality

Desperate housewives is on in the background, and I’ve just seen a message from a few days back from someone letting me know she reads my blog regularly. And then I looked at her blog…

The greatest Niger fan you can find - this blond Scandinavian cannot think of a better way to live her life than working for Eden Foundation in the Tanout zone. This blog is about living life as an unpaid volunteer, trying to make the best out of every day (sometimes possible, sometimes not) while helping the people of the least developed area of the least developed country in the world achieve a sustainable life.

And while reading through her blog, I found out that her mother has cancer. My mother worked in an Oncology clinic for many years, only retiring a few months ago to come spend more time with us in Cape Town.

Something touched me in Ishtar’s writing.

All the silly postings going back and forward the whole day suddenly lost meaning to me.

My thoughts are with you Ishtar…
