We brought you muffins to your grave
“Cher Ari. Today we celebrated you. You would have been 50 today. We should have brought you muffins to bed while singing the birthday song in the morning. Later, we would have toasted you, made speeches for you, laughed and danced while talking regarding serious things, philosophical things, funny things and all the rest. We can’t do this“, écrit Martha Louise of Norway to the one she married on May 24, 2002. She continued: “Nevertheless, we brought you muffins to your grave and sang you the birthday song so loudly that you must have heard it far beyond the The Pearl Gate” (the gates of paradise, Editor’s note).
Princess Martha Louise concluded with these words: “I just wanted to tell you that we are thinking of you and that you would have been very proud of our children, as you were when you hugged them like only you might.“.
