In their deaths, Willem was able to remember that he had loved them after all, and that they had taught him things he treasured knowing, and that they had never asked from him anything he wasn’t able to do or provide…But now, older, he was able to appreciate that they had never even suggested he might owe them a debt-not success, or fealty, or affection, or even loyalty. 😞
