As my grandmother past away in Amsterdam I needed a good suit and quick, I had 2 days before my plane would leave. I went in to the shop and asked for a little advice. They helped me pick a great outfit all together. The pantaloon needed to be fitted, but even that wasn't a problem. They fixed it over night and i could pick it up the next morning.
A mix of emotions.
Sadness, grieve, a little bit of joy at the same time (yet happy to see my family again after a year).
When the family came together my uncle walked straight by me. Later on I walked up to him and he said "I'm so sorry, I just didn't recognized you, dressed in a suit that well". I had a couple other great comments on my outfit as well. Which makes me feel great, to know that she could see me like that for the last time.
I just wanted to thank Clara and Frank again for helping me picking the right suit for my final respect to my grandmother and for the mental support. No “sale-dogs” but just 2 honest and respectful people.
Thanks, Brend
