Mothers day was a big event, because I we got to spend it with the family. We went to an Indonesian restaurant. Dutch people seem to be very relaxed about going out to dinner. It was a 5 hour event and we all had a chance getting to know each other. I kept thinking that all these people were descendents of my father Roelof Vandenberg. He could never have known that we would not only find each other but actually meet. At the table are his daughters, Truus and I, granddaughters, Ria and Antoinette, great-grandchildren, Sandra, Michael, Patrick and Dorinda, and great-great-grandson named Jesse. "We are family"
