Normally there is a lot to be organized here (my father has Alzheimer&#8217;s), but this time I decided not to focus on DOING things but to just BE. When I first heard about his diagnosis, I wanted to arrange everything for him: we took a cruise to Indonesia (which was on his bucket list); I arranged everything he wanted to do. With all the planning and arranging, there was hardly any time for just being together. So no trips and no arranging this time; just drinking coffee with my dad, going for walks together, looking at\u00a0photo albums and letting what unfolds just be. Great conversations, special moments, and enjoying being together. It&#8217;s important for him and also a nice break for me after all that traveling (Croatia, Amsterdam, London and Miami in a\u00a0month) and time to get\u00a0inspired. Do you take enough time out\u00a0with the people you love?<br \/>\nAs a surprise, I had his signature tattooed on my arm last week, in white ink\u00a0so it doesn&#8217;t stand out too much. The idea is that although his personality is slowly &#8220;disappearing&#8221; due to the illness, this\u00a0keeps his energy with me. It\u00a0seems to have worked out well. I was afraid it would be very emotional to show him the tattoo, but he just started to laugh and said, &#8220;Haha, that&#8217;s the craziest thing I&#8217;ve ever heard! Who would want MY signature on their arm? !?&#8221;<br \/>\nYet he was intrigued and now he always asks me: &#8220;So this doesn&#8217;t go away, it won&#8217;t disappear?&#8221; And every time I answer: &#8220;No, this will always stay with me; your energy will stay with me forever!&#8221; \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-11 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-image-element in-legacy-container\" style=\"--awb-caption-title-font-family:var(--h2_typography-font-family);--awb-caption-title-font-weight:var(--h2_typography-font-weight);--awb-caption-title-font-style:var(--h2_typography-font-style);--awb-caption-title-size:var(--h2_typography-font-size);--awb-caption-title-transform:var(--h2_typography-text-transform);--awb-caption-title-line-height:var(--h2_typography-line-height);--awb-caption-title-letter-spacing:var(--h2_typography-letter-spacing);\"><span class=\" fusion-imageframe imageframe-none imageframe-5 hover-type-none\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" alt=\"Expanding horizons - Inspiration Shot July 2019\" title=\"Expanding horizons &#8211;
