During
many years Alex Mensaert lived in different. The
pictures he could find back are here. Also pictures
from Family, the Family tree on what the grandfather
of Alex spend many years to investigate, some foods
Alex made and so much more.
Before we go to the pictures (and more that soon
will be online) Alex want to show you his oldest
brother (Patrick) and sister (Brigitte) who he need
to miss already many years.
Patrick died from cancer and exactly 14 days later
(same day, 14 days later) his sister died from
suicide.
The
day before she died, Brigitte called and she told to
Alex on the phone: "Brother, from tomorrow on, you
will think everyday in your life on me", not knowing
what she was talking about on that moment. But,
indeed the last words from sister Brigitte to her
youngest brother did came out. Since that terrible
day there is no any day in the life of Alex without
thinking on Brigitte. He called her always
'WitteKop' (In English WhiteHead, Dutch for white
head, oriented on her white hair).
A movie
that Alex made from his sister shortly before she
died.
But
also Patrick, who died from cancer is daily in the
mind of Alex. He remember the time that the doctor
told him: "Your brother has only 6 months to live",
but the truth Alex never told to his brother at that
time. Alex was at that time sure that it was better
not to tell his brother that he would die from
Cancer.
Patrick
in the movie 'The Spider Catcher'.
Both liked to make jokes and since Patrick hated
spiders, Alex came up with the funny idea to make a
movie.
A Spider Catcher (who was a friend of Alex) and
brother Patrick, who believed this whole setup.
Patrick was 44 and Brigitte was 37 on the moment
they left our living world.
While Alex was
in Brazil, he started to help many
street children and children from the slums where he lived.
He called it 'City of Hearts', the time he was doing this.
