from Annelies Gerits

I just wish I could say "Thank you" once more.

Because...

We all look at the same sky every day.
Some days filled with bright blue, only the beautiful blue.
Some days filled with clouds, only the gloomy grey.

We all look at the same sky every day.
Some of us see different colours from different places.
Some of us see different colours during different times.

We all look at the same sky every day.
And some days, some people make us see,
the beautiful bright blue, through the gloomy grey.

Jon was one of those people to me. He showed me a beautiful bright blue sky during gloomy grey times. He wrote the most beautiful motivating words a young scientist could read, needed to read. I will be forever thankful to him, for those kind words.

So once more, Jon: "Thank you"
