My mum. ❤️

I didn’t lose you all at once.
Dementia took you from us little by little.
It took our long conversations, your memories, and eventually even the knowledge that I was your daughter.

But it could never change the fact that you were my mum.

Once, you held me in your arms.
In the end, I held your hand.

You were tired long before your incredibly strong heart was ready to let go. And now, finally, you can rest.

I am heartbroken, but I am also at peace.
Loving you never meant wanting you to stay at any cost.

I hope that wherever you are now, there is no more dementia, no more confusion and no more struggle. Just peace.

Our conversations had already fallen silent a long time ago,
but somehow, I know it will never truly be silent between us.

Sleep peacefully, Mum.
I love you. Always. ❤️ #mom #farewell #dementie #lost #seeyouinheaven by @inge_v_e

Aan iedereen die even de tijd nam om mij een fijne verjaardag te wensen via WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, sms of op een andere manier: dankjewel!

Elke boodschap, groot of klein, toverde een glimlach op mijn gezicht. Jullie hebben mijn dag nóg mooier gemaakt. 💕✨

One last glance over my shoulder not because I want to stay in the past, but because it made me stronger. Every challenge, every goodbye, every lesson has shaped the person I am today.

Today begins another year around the sun. 🥳 … I step into it with quiet strength, hope for the future, gratitude for the journey, and trust that beautiful things are still waiting for me. 🤍 #birthdayvibes #celebrate #newyeararoundthesun #friday #party by @inge_v_e

Today, at 6:10 PM, exactly 22 years ago, I became a mom. 💕
22 years ago, I didn’t just have a daughter. I gained a reason to always get back up when life became difficult. 🌪️
We grew up together. Through ups and downs. Through beautiful moments and difficult ones. 💫🕊️ With laughter, tears, letting go and finding our way back to each other.
I didn’t always do everything perfectly.🤷🏻‍♀️ But everything I did, I did with love.
Today I look at the independent young woman you have become, and my heart is filled with admiration.
Happy Birthday, Romy. ❤️
Twenty-two years later, you are still my greatest adventure.
Thank you for all the memories, lessons, hugs, and moments that have made my life so much richer and more beautiful.
You have taught me more than you will ever realize, and watching you grow into the woman you are today has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. 💎
And yes… in the meantime, you’ve also become an amazing cat mom of two. 🐾♥️ #22yearsoflove #mom #momlive #forevermybaby #proudmom by @inge_v_e

I chose silence this winter… not to disappear, but to rebuild. 🩶

#GoodbyeBrigitteBardot

Wat een opmerkelijke vrouw.
Ooit één van de grootste sekssymbolen van haar tijd 🎞️

En later gaf ze haar leven volledig aan dieren , radicaal en zonder compromis. 🐾🩶

Dat vind ik zo prachtig aan haar
Ze koos bewust voor wie geen stem heeft.
Voor zachtheid, zorg en bescherming. 🙏🏻

Ze is ook gewoon… natuurlijk oud geworden.
En dat zie je vandaag de dag nog maar zelden……..

In een wereld waar actrices, modellen en zelfs gewone mensen alles doen om jong te blijven, soms tot het absurde toe, koos zij voor waarheid.
Voor een gezicht dat meegroeit met het leven.👵🏻 🩶

Brigitte Bardot was haar leeftijd.
En juist dat maakt haar zo mooi.🩶

91 jaar, een rijk leven en toch maakt me dit wat triest .
Misschien omdat echtheid en mededogen zeldzaam zijn geworden. 🤍🐾

✨ Holiday wishes ✨

In this season of lights and togetherness,
I feel how important it is to pause for a moment.

This year feels different to me.
Quieter days. Less space than I had hoped for.

Not everything feels festive.
Not every smile tells the whole story.
And sometimes, gentleness carries a bit of sadness.

This year, I feel a stronger need for rest.
For warmth, closeness and simplicity.
For allowing myself to be, without pressure.

I sense that I need more gentleness this year.
Less pressure. Less expectation.
More simplicity. More calm.

For me, Christmas this year
is not about abundance or big plans,
but about warmth.
About caring.
About being together, even with little.

In a place where I feel safe.
Where I can find rest
and gently come back to myself.
In a place that holds me.

I try to make things as cozy as possible for myself,
in my own way, at my own pace.
And I remind myself that it’s okay
to step back from the noise.

To everyone who doesn’t feel festive this year:
you are not alone.
And it doesn’t have to be big to be real.

Wishing you calm, warm holidays
and a new year with more breathing space,
more gentleness
and less pressure. 🤍

“Je wilde alleen wat Halloween-sfeer… 🎃”?
Maar voor mij werd het een val. 🕸️
Wat voor jou versiering is, werd voor mij een gevecht om te overleven.
Ik kwam voor bessen, maar vond plastic en paniek. 💔
Denk twee keer na voor je iets ophangt buiten …
de natuur is geen decor, maar een thuis. 🌿🐦

You just wanted some Halloween vibes… 🎃
But for me, it became a trap. 🕸️
What’s decoration to you, became a fight for my life.
I came for berries, but found plastic and fear. 💔
Think twice before hanging fake webs outside….
nature isn’t decoration, it’s home. 🌿🐦

Hugs: what a gift.

♥︎ My mama ♥︎

The woman who brought me into this world.
My (demented) mama, now slowly fading out of that world.
She’s become so fragile. A tiny little soul, toothless, with her messy hair and that stubborn little spark in her eyes.
She’s still here… and yet, she’s not.

Her memories are fading.
But still… when she sees me, she waves right away.
And she lights up, because she feels:
“You belong to me.”
And that feeling stays even when words disappear.

Whether she still remembers how she gave birth to me… I don’t know.
But she still feels it.
And so do I. ♥️
In that hug. In her gaze. In how happy she was to see me.
In those half-closed eyes that still light up, just for a moment. 🤗

My brother took this photo.
And when I saw it, I cried.
Because it says everything without saying a word.
I hesitated to share it…
It’s so intimate. So personal.
But it’s also: real.
This is me.
This is her.
Two people, connected by something even dementia can’t erase. ♥️

And maybe that’s what makes it so precious.

I barely have time.
It’s a long drive. And life just keeps rushing forward.
And every time I leave, it feels heavy.
Not because she’s alone
but because I have to leave her behind again,
not knowing how she’ll be next time…
or if there will be a next time. 🥹
And that hits hard.

Yesterday was definitely not just a birthday. 🎉
But it was one I’ll never forget.
Thank you, dear brother, for this moment. 🙏🏻
