6.6.2013

Just remembering Emmo and Karmin, who died in a car accident on this day two years ago now.

Here is a picture of Emmo taken in 2009, in our old place. He was visiting from Rotterdam, to see M’s mum, his sister, who was very ill with cancer.

Emmo and the chihuahuas

The chihuahuas loved him instantly. They don’t normally take to people on first meeting them, but they took to Emmo.

I still miss him. You know that jolt you get when you happen to spot someone, in passing, who reminds you of someone who’s gone, and you have that horrible wrenching feeling when you realise of course it’s not them, and you remember? I still get that.

  1. Totally get what you mean. And something I’ve never mentioned before… but the way President Obama says his ‘s’s reminds me of the way Dad used to say his. Odd, I know. Totally different accents, but somehow… It always gets me.

    That’s a sweet photo.
