But then an opportunity came up, completely spontaneously. A person who had no expectation of what a perfect holiday should be/should contain, who thought sitting and reading for a few hours was as rewarding as running around with a bucket list through the city, with a watertight program, who thought that spending time with me, as I could give it, was more important than other things. I asked, got a yes and then it worked, we were finally able to travel, with masks, disinfection, distance and the folding stick in the suitcase (which I didn't need), and a lot of work, accepting that not everything I wanted, would be possible, but being happy and grateful to get out, not as a burden / obstacle to other people's holiday dreams, but as a ‘we’ and about the immense gift and the privilege of having such a person in my life. Maybe such an opportunity will come again, maybe not - I can't know, but I won’t hope and dream about it. I will start gather the courage, not so much to dare to ask, but the courage of accepting a no, because maybe I’ll get a yes again…who knows?!
