Our line of work can run in families - and everything that comes with it.
The son of the new Dutch armed forces commander has been killed by a roadside bomb in southern Afghanistan.Note the time line. Perspective.The blast, early on Friday in Uruzgan province, also killed another Dutch soldier and wounded two more.
Lt Dennis van Uhm, 23, was the son of Gen Peter van Uhm, who took up overall command of Dutch forces on Thursday.
A total of 16 Dutch troops have now died in Afghanistan. Friday's attack is not thought to have specifically targeted the new military commander.
I'm wandering about, doing my duty somewhere in the Norfolk area, and what little off-duty computer time I've had has been dedicated to another writing project which you'll all (hopefully) see soon. I think you'll find it an unsurprising surprise. Or not, if it never sees the light of day. Life is unpredictable. It is, in fact, what hapens while you're making other plans.
Thank you Grim and Cassandra for two thought provoking entries. Reading them from the perspective of a mere three week (less the one afternoon we had together between my trip and hers) separation has added to my appreciation.
By the way, Grim, while you were traveling one of your old posts on Grim's Hall got some heavy attention. Another "life's funny like that" moment. But oddly enough it had some very deep meaning to me in a current events sort of way. More on that later this weekend.
Be home soon, Mrs G.
