I love this! It makes my heart float off to distant places. I love the fog, rain and storms so this piece really works for me.
If you write back to me in your native language I will understand although I can only write back in english. I have family in Holland and though I havent seen them in many years I was raised to understand the language.

Bedankt voor de leuke reactie! 
Dat is makkelijk, ik spreek beter engels dan dat ik het schrijf dus het komt goed uit dat ik gewoon in het Nederlands terug kan schrijven!

Definately! Its too bad I cant write it. I never understood how I can read it fine (well, its not as fast as I read english) but cant remember what I read to write it lol. Its fun for me to exercise my linguistic brain.
I still have family in Hoek van Holland, Etten Leur, and my Grandmother used to live in Breda. I believe an elderly aunt and uncle still reside there. My parents were married in the Grote Kerk (Im sure the spelling is wrong lol) in 1967. When I was in Holland last as a little one, I remember thinking it was a grand castle.

Wat leuk dat jou familie zo dichtbij woont. Ik woon namelijk in Delft dat is iets van 20 km van Hoek van Holland vandaan!
Hoe komt het dan dat je in Canada woont en andere familie nog in Holland?
En je hebt de Grote Kerk goed geschreven, dus je kan het wel een beetje!

My family was in the Dutch West Indies, and after the war everyone left for Holland. My parents were married there but then they decided to emigrate to Canada, and my mother's sister went to the USA, and her half sister went off to New Zealand! I never asked them why they chose here, and as close as my mother's family was Im surprised that they didnt seek to live close. I know my mother wrote to my grandmother every day almost and same with the sisters. It never really made sense. At one point my family tried to sponsor my aunt and uncle and the two kids but my father didnt make enough money and they turned him down. I remember my mother being very sad about that.
I have not been back to Holland as an adult. My father went there about 15 years ago and tried to dig up some of his family but out of the 15 children none of them were close and all but my dad and his youngest sister have died now. My mother died in 1991, and there is only my father left and my brother who lives in the Carribean.
Sadly my step-mom was just diagnosed with lung and bone cancer. I worry about my dad now having to go through that with another person he loves, and hes almost 80 years old.

Ooh wauw dat is een heel verhaal!
Jammer dat iedereen ergens anders heen emigreerde, familie dichtbij is altijd fijn.
Gelukkig woont mijn familie allemaal in Nederland, niet allemaal even dichtbij maar we kunnen ze teminste opzoeken.
Ik hoop het beste voor je stiefmoeder! En dat het allemaal goed komt met je vader en jou!

TY! I know its going to be hard for my dad, hes going to be 80 this year. Hes been through a lot in his life. Holland is so small too! Easier to get together. Even if we all lived in Canada it is a huge country and takes a long time to travel from one end to the other.
