I am a 54 years old woman and married for almost 18 years now with Paul from 44. We have a daugther Marit and she's 19 years old (her birthday is at december 22th). She's disabled, physically and mentaly and she has a metabolic disease and epilepsy (Syndrom of "Lennox Gastaut"), but most of the time she's very happy and she's singing and learning a lot. We take care of her as a baby.

Marit is living for two years now in a home in Dinxperlo, next to Germany. It is a realy nice home for her, She has a beautiful room there and is living with lovely other people. I couldn't take care of her, because my health won't let me. At thirst we were very sad, but after a while it is al litle bit easier. She's coming home for the weekend and then we hug for a whole week! :)

I lost many friends, because I can't work anymore and I had to take care of Marit. Sometimes I think that's the faith, because it's a gift to take care of Marit! Some people are not coming anymore and that's why I am sometimes feeling very lonely. Since Marit is living somewhere else, I see sometimes nobody for a few days.

So that's why I like to have postcards and send them of course. A little sunshine on a day, because life is sometimes hard! I like to read, i do cross-stich! You can make me very happy with any kind of Postcard, I will love it! I hope to hear from you!

In 2022 I've heard I have longcancer. There's no cure. So I live by the day and enjoy little things in life :)

Feel free to tell something about yourself! :)

Thank you, and Happy Postcrossing!!

I do not collect stamps, only the Postcard.
