Dear Markus, this is one of the most beautiful and touching galleries I´ve seen. It´s an immense honor to have shared with your family your father´s lifetime in a nick of time. It was such an emotional experience that at some point between the tiny baby and the much missed "grossvater", I began missing him too. I thank you for letting me in and respectfully wish all the best to all your family. With all my heart.

Today it has been one year since our Papa died. We miss him very much.
