It was hard to find room 115. There were Janin and Jan&#8217;s relatives. There was the coffin of Janin&#8217;s mother. She seemed to have a calm face. When it was carried out, her husband Dirk (92) said &#8220;bye&#8221; 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&#8217;s all! We moved to a cafe at Fase Fier. I talked to Jan&#8217;s brother. He told me a funny story about their mother&#8217;s funeral. They threw away their mother&#8217;s ashes in a canal in Amsterdam without permission! They are crazy but interesting. I also talked very much with Janin&#8217;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&#8217;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 &#8220;devil&#8221;. 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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I visited Santmark nursing home at 11:30am.
