Ode to Saskia van UylenburghThank you for all you have meant to so many and to me
Dear Catherine Drenth-van Beek,
Dear mom, greatest courageous woman. Thank you for everything you have meant and still mean to so many and to me. Your progressiveness, your standing up for everyone who was badly affected by jet fate, for refugees and your fight for inclusion are inspiring. Scarred for life by WW2 yourself, you stood up for injustice and worried about the future for all children.
Period
1621– 1642
