(happy) Birthday Willem-Jan!
Mixed feelings this day, saying final goodbyes to my grandfather and at the same time my brothers 31st Birthday!
The priest this morning made a nice relation between the two;
You celibrate the day of your birth on your Birthday (obvious in
english…in dutch the word for Birthday is actually ‘verjaardag’ which
literally means ‘aging’-day, a different meaning…).
The early Christians ‘celibrated’ the day of someones death as the Birthday in heaven. Another point of view, ah?
So I can say…Happy Birthday both of you!!
