oeke came to live with me in 1974 and died 1994 the very day folly came to live with us i have always been extreemly close to oeke, in fact my first lover said - when he left me after five years: "oeke ha gaņado" (oeke has won) when i came back from berlin in 1994, oeke had been lying in a corner in the house, not eating, not moving, just waiting for me to come home, say goodbye, and... die really peculiar is that this was the same day - and before i knew oeke would die - that folly came to live with us strange was that i went to bury oeke in my parents' garden, and on the way picked up folly, while burying oeke, folly was playing around in the garden |

siem came with us, at leiden at that time, in 1977, just walked into the house and decided to stay siem has always been a lovely friend to me and all those that visited me he also died 1994 (he spent a few months together with folly) he did this different from oeke: one late night he walked out of the house, never to return i knew he went away, that night, to die..: he was old, and felt, as one could see by then, very ill he must have gone to find a place to hide from his pains, and to die i had just cleaned his litter box, but it was never used again, and i left it standing there until ed moved in siem was cute, fun, and a friend to all |
