Making a new friend

For a couple of years I really wanted a dog, specifically a Corgi. But because the waiting list to get a pup at most of the kennels in the neighborhood is two years or more I did not get my hopes up when we decided to try and get a pupper.

Thanks to a lucky break we managed to get one almost instantly. So without preparation whatsoever we welcomed Arthur into our house.

Arthur!

Vergeten en vergeven part two

Dirk Ploeg

During my my time as a student of Journalism I made a two part Dutch audio series about Alzheimer’s disease called Vergeten en vergeven (forget and forgive). Since I started deleting all my social media, but wanted to preserve these episodes I re-posted them here.

For this episode I spoke with Dirk Ploeg who was recently diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. How is he coping? This episode is about the perspective of someone who has realized he might not recognize his own grandchildren in the near future, but yet remains positive.
