There's a little bit of in-leading story. I didn't have contact with my dad for nine years. After nine years, I thought I'm fed up with it. I am going to start finding contact and I searched for him. I did. I found him. We start building relationship. Between the same year he dies. Heart attack. So I could never really get through the questions I really wanted because in the beginning of a relationship, you don't go deep. You just start building a relationship, start small.
And I felt so bad about that, whatever it doesn't mean sometime, uh, passed by. I moved from the Netherlands to the Czech Republic and I had this dream. Out of the blue that, and I really need to dig deep to remember it well. But I remember that I was hanging out with not my dad, but with like the remarried family of my dad.
And they were telling me that I shouldn't protect my dad so much. And I thought it was bullshit and it started up in a fight and whatever. I walked away from it. And at some point there was my dad on a bike. My dad was never on a bike, never, ever in my life. I saw my dad on a bike, but he was there and we walked and I don't know what we talked about or whatever.
And at some point he asked me like, “son do you have a cigarette for me?”. And I was out of cigarettes in my dreams. And I only had like one rolling cigarette to make. And we shared the cigarette together and he hopped up on the bike on the back of me and we drove away. And in my dream I heard music. And it was so weird in my dream from the moment when he stepped back on it.
And I got goosebumps from it. I stayed on the position where I went. And in my view, we both, like we rode off in the horizon and it is nuts man until today that I don't understand this dream.
But it is so beautiful that because of this dream, I was able to say goodbye to my dad.
