Story plot

A father says goodbye to his young daughter and leaves. As the wide Dutch landscapes live through their seasons so the girl lives through hers. She becomes a young woman, has a family and in time she becomes old, yet within her there is always a deep longing for her father.

To ponder :

Does this happened to you? You have a faith on a certain event , things or person,
Its gone, it is quite unsure you will find it back, your love ones, your success or your youth.

But you keep trying. trying. and trying.

You may end up with nothing. OR something. Something that is within your imagination or even visible to oneself.

I will like to say : Keep Fighting . Even you may look like an idiot or fool , even there is merely a glimpse of chance. Fight! Eventually we reach what we wanted. May be not in real. But we do get SOMETHING from it.
