Father And Daughter

The bond between father and daughter happens instantly, starting right at birth,
When a father first lays eyes on his little girl he loves her more than anything on this earth,
When a daughter grows older her father is the first man she will love,
And the last one her father will have trouble letting go of,
In her eyes he is the closest thing to God, in her eyes he is a King,
To her father she means the world, she means everything.
When a daughter grows up to be an adult and mature,
Her father will always be there anytime she still needs dad to help her,
To give her advice or just-for anything she will ever need,
The bond between father and daughter is the most important bond indeed,
It cannot be broken when she finds a man, and become his wife,
It cannot be broken even in the ending of either ones life,
A daughter will always have the memories of her father, her best friend
This bond has a beginning, but there is never an end.
The bond between a father and daughter is so profound
The love shared is well renowned,
From the beginning of his daughters life, he is a changed man,
At that moment his life really just began.
From the moment their eyes meet,
two souls instantly become complete.Image result for images for stephen jenkinson quotes

Day 179 - visited Buchenwald YESTERDAY 18 March 2015 WALKING IN THE SUN AT BUCHENWALD CONCENTRATION CAMP:::

Hired a car and went to Buchenwald yesterday.  It was different from what I expected......left some balancing Stones on the stump of The Goethe tree. 

I know my dad would be pleased I visited .   I feel I have some closure now I have visited.  It was a lovely sunny, bright day and at times it was hard to imagine and comprehend that the building and surrounding area had seen some very terrible times...... visited The Quarry which is in a very beautiful Setting.......


Talked to a Group of School children and their teacher - one of them was from Belgium and he was very nice and waved goodbye to me in an endearing manner.

Reflected about the Girls from Lille who perished at Auschwitz and asked my dad and the other political prisoners who matched by them just before they were murdered - Tell the World what Happened to Us Please ´well I think between us; my dad and I got their message out to the world via the Internet and it is something that those Girls from Lille never knew would happen .....

Felt very grateful to have been  Walking in the sun at Buchenwald.....Image result for images of sunshine and happiness

Day 174 - The pull of the polders - just because...


AND SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE - MY DAD'S BLOG IS INCREASING AT A STEADY AND SLOW PLACE

The Pull of the Poulders
An echo of the hope of the medieval Low Country emigrants to German lands is captured in the text of an old Flemish ballad:

“Naer Oostland willen wy ryden,
Naer Oostland willen wy mee,
Al over die groene heiden,
Frisch over die heiden.
Daer isser een betere stee
Als wy binnen
Oostland komen
Al onder dat hooge huis,
Daer worden wy binnen gelaten,
Frisch over die heiden;
Zy heeten ons willekom zyn.”[xix]
