I want to dedicate today to Maria's love for animals and nature.
There was never any denial she loved animals. From dogs to crocodiles to the tiniest little bugs. She was mad about bugs.
She called them severely underrated by the world. Her favorite bug was the golden tortoise beetle. When she told me this, I immediatly looked it up. They are so weird and glittery. If they weren't creepy crawley bugs, I might have liked them. beetle-cow
Maria was passionate about all animals however. She followed all biology blogs and nature documentaries. She tried to find a job in the field, but... She did not have the right papers to even be considered. Of all the things Maria was good at, learning at school was not one of those things.
She tried her best and I helped her out so many times. But she never had the brains for learning dusty old school stuff. Hoe lang ben ik nu hier?
But she knew all about animals and how to care for them. And she liked to draw them. Luckily she could volunteer at animal shelters. But even there she could not have a job. Maybe it was for the best though.

Most jobs would make it impossible for her to travel. And she wanted to travel, to meet new, different animals. I look at my cats. They have snuggled up against each other next to me. I better give them some more love.
