Here are some various photos from first part of 2022.
Here is one of Aiden in his happy space at the Piano and Guitar.
At Cabramatta we sat down having an asian drink. It looked so much like one of the birds from Angry bird that I just had to get a photo. See the resemblance?
This is a Lego truck that Lucas built.
At karate Aiden is sometimes asked to teach the newbies. It is great to see how it gives him confidence.
Aiden went to a birthday party with a Virtual Reality experience...a bit scary for him.
The local corner shop was refitted for a TV show.
Easter egg loot.
What do the boys get up to in their room sometimes???

One one of our trips down south we visited the Nan Tien temple south of Sydney.
It is a Chinese Buddhist temple that is worth a relaxing visit for anyone with some time.

During the Christmas holidays we rented a place at Warilla Beach a couple of hours south of Sydney.
We discovered that the beach has pipies in the sand, so every day we made sure that we harvested a plate full of them for dinner.
We brought Aidens new guitar, so that he was able to practice his music while enjoying the scenery.
The kids also attended online drawing lessons.
It was a beautiful spot to sit on the balcony, enjoy the view and have some great food (including fresh pipies).
One day we also visited the Jambaroo Water park. This was a disappointment with long queues at every ride and Aiden was too scared to do any rides so it was a bit of a miserable day.

It has been three years since I last spent time with my dad. This is due to Australia closing its borders for two years due to the Covid pandemic.
As soon as they announced opening the borders again in February my dad booked his ticket to come a visit.
It was really nice to have him here and different from when he has been here previously. For starters, he was here by himself which was a different dynamic and also Aiden and Lucas have grown older and really enjoyed bonding with 'Bedstefar'. Especially Aiden and my dad found that they had music in common and Aiden took great prise in being able to play some of the pieces on piano that my dad was able to sing.
I really enjoyed having a few beers (and other good stuff) with him while he was here.
A couple of years ago I bough a machine to transfer my dads and grandads old 8mm film to digital. Because of the pandemic I was never able to try it out. My dad brought one of his films to do a trial transfer. It worked really well and he'd now brought it back to Denmark with him to transfer the rest.
One afternoon dad and I went up to the Barrenjoey lighthouse. My dad is still able to do it although he is a bit slower and not as strong as he used to be.

Kims dad passed away 92 years old. He will be greatly missed by his daughters, grandchildren, grandsons and friends.
It was a beautiful funeral following chinese traditions with wearing white clothes to celebrate a long life.
Aiden played a beautiful song on the piano in front of everyone and we had put together slides showing his life.
Day after we did the traditional cleaning of the tomb stone and also the burning of paper clothes and money (theory is that it will then go to the afterlife for him to wear).
I hope that the boys are old enough to remember their time with him.
Even though his old body was failing him, his mind was still sharp enough to play Mahjong and other games with us. These photos are from our last trip with him down to Bowral.

Lucas is part of the schools chess club.
The other day he was very proud that he'd received this award.

I celebrated Christmas and New Year with my parents in Thailand.
We spent the time in the Northern Part of Thailand in the Golden Triangle around Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai.
We rented a car for a couple of days and got to see a lot including all the hill tribes that still to this day live in this part of Thailand.

In 2003 Kenneth got married to Anica. I was asked to be the best man by Kenneth.
The wedding took place at a homestead in Sofala three hours drive west of Sydney.
It was a wonderful weekend surrounded by wonderful people.

My brother passed away in the end of 2002. He had been suffering badly from his disease for almost a decade and eventually it got the better of him.
I still miss him a lot even though we weren't close when he was alive....but I still feel him close to me to this day!
I still light a candle for him once in a while.
His two biggest wishes in life was to become a professional tennis player...he was a pretty damn good player and I never played against him because I didn't have a chance.
His second biggest wish was to get himself a girlfriend. This is one of the last photos that was taken of him.
I still blame the psychiatric system in Denmark for what happened. They were too focused on treating his disease with medication and never paid any attention on teaching him to live with his disease and provide quality in life.
I still love him very much and I really miss him. I also regret that I wasn't there more for him.
He always looked after me and he has never hurt anyone.
This is the last family photo that was taken.
I would appreciate if you click here to see some of the photos from my brothers life:
May he not be forgotten
