June 15

At the age of 93,

On June 15th, 2021 at 15.20h she died, while I was on a business trip in the east of Germany. When the nurse called me, I was walking on a crossover at a chemical plant with a client, and could not take the call. But I knew it anyway.

That evening, alone in the hotel in a town where I have not been before, I went out for something to eat and found a small Italian restaurant with a lovely terrasse, touched by the late evening sun. The wind was chilly but I didn’t care.
