The Simplest Funeral
I visited Santmark nursing home at 11:30am. It was hard to find room 115. There were Janin and Jan’s relatives. There was the coffin of Janin’s mother. She seemed to have a calm face. When it was carried out, her husband Dirk (92) said “bye” and kissed her forehead. It was repeated twice. It made me draw tears. Janin read a message to her mother at the entrance of the nursing home. No ceremony, that’s all! We moved to a cafe at Fase Fier. I talked to Jan’s brother. He told me a funny story about their mother’s funeral. They threw away their mother’s ashes in a canal in Amsterdam without permission! They are crazy but interesting. I also talked very much with Janin’s son, Laurens. All of the attendees were gone around 4pm but we two stayed there till almost 7pm. I knew a shocking true story about Janin’s daughter Julli. I really savored the fact that every family has a dark side. I was confused by his words because he said his mother as a “devil”. Anyway, he was really a good man and we spent a fun and useful time. After I came back home, I had ramen noodles and rice for dinner. I retired for the day before 9 pm, because I had to wake up earlier than usual for an art event next morning.
