I have a very special bracelet in my collection. Made in silver filigree, bought in Tehran in 1961 or 1962. I was just a little toddler when my uncle John, my mother´s oldest brother, and his wife to be, Kari, moved to Tehran in Persia (today Iran) to work for a company who drew maps. It must have been a dream! And it was. Uncle John and his Kari married during their stay :-)
When they arrived back home, uncle John and aunt Kari brought me a most precious gift, the beautiful filigree bracelet, made for the wrist of a little girl.
Uncle John, who would have been 91 next month, died last Sunday, and today was his funeral. In the old church Havstein, where Leander was baptised on my birthday last year.
After the funeral the family gathered to share memories. There are so many of them.
Tomorrow two of John´s daughters, two of my cousins, will come here, and we will continue to share.
