Ode to Anneke HooymeyerIndividuality and independence
Dear Anneke,
With all your books, your stories, your wide interests, your love for music, culture and not to forget your humor, I was able to enjoy you for many years.
After your death in discovered even more special sides of you, which I would have loved to talk about with you.
Thanks to you, I am not afraid of growing old.
