And although it was very cosy, we were all getting tired. I could barely supressed a yawn.

'Ok, I think that our kids needs to get into their beds, otherwise they will be visiting gran with some sleepy eyes, 'said Måns.

'Indeed and that we're going back to our hotel as well, 'I said.

'Yes, cause you do have some heavy weeks ahead of you, 'said mom.

'Well, this week it's a very calm week, but the week after is it busier, 'I said.

'So, kids, you heard us. Brushing your teeth and pyjama's on and into your beds, 'said Måns to them.

We went upstairs with them and when they were lying in their beds, asked Alex : 'Are you gonna read us a story or is mom gonna do that ?'

We glanced to each other and I said to Måns : ' Heads or tails.'

'Heads, 'he said. I flipped the coin.

'Ok, it's your turn to read. But please, one that's not too long, 'I said with a wink.

'Don't worry, I know a very short one. Are you sure that you're going downstairs?? Cause, it's possible that , you're almost down the stairs, the story would be finished, 'said Måns.

'Oh no, not one that's too short. Alexander already did that once, 'said Sophie.

'Damn you Alexander. Ok, so one that's a little bit longer, 'he said.

In the meantime I went downstairs and my mum gave a cup of coffee.

'You finally have found the luck that you deserve. But to be honest I thought that you, after all that happened, would be standing on my doorstep, 'she said.

'Yes, I became more stronger and it's because of him that I'm now that person. And sometimes we had some real big fights, but we always talked it out. And I thinks it' s because of that we became such a strong couple, I mean , communication is everything in a relationship, 'I said.

'Yes, true. But also really love each other. And that is what I see, when I look at you two. I see true love . It's the way that you just look to each other and in every little thing that you do, 'she said.

And on that moment I saw that she had tears in her eyes.

'Yes, I do miss him every single day. And when I see at Alex, I see dad too. Sometimes it happens that he close his eyes and then I say that he's sleeping, but then he said : "Mum, I wasn't sleeping, I was just thinking of something." Just like dad always did, 'I said to her.

'Yes, that's sounds like your dad. But Sophie has something too that reminds us of him. You remember that one time that someone said to her : "can I ask you a stupid question?" and she said to that person : "There are no stupid questions, only stupid answers.", 'said Måns suddenly.

'Indeed, typical your dad. But that's how he lives further, 'she said.

'What do you think? Are we're heading back to our hotel? 'asked Måns me.

'Yeah, good idea. Then we'll be lying in our beds on a reasonable hour, 'I said.

'Ok and around what time are you picking up the kids? So, then I can get them ready on time, 'she said.

'We told grans that we'll be at her place around 3 pm, 'I said.

'Ok, so around 2 pm then. Than you have some margin , cause you'll never know how busy it's gonna be on the road, 'she said.

'No, that's true, 'I said.

But on our way to the bus stop, I suddenly realised : 'What are we gonna do now?? I mean, you're not allowed to drive, 'I said to Måns.
