Tears welled up upon reading this email... managed well not to let them fall through the eyeline. The silent impulse in me wanted so much to fly over to Houston right this minute and meet up with my dear old friend.
Hans is regarded as one of my good friend during my stay in RIO, someone whom never fails to visit me whenever he fly down to Rio for business trip. He and his wife (whom i never met before) shows concern towards making my neccesity needs in Rio more comfortable, often asking what i need in Rio and i could not get? Remembering Hans bringing a rice cooker (110V) for me when my 220V so decided to stop boiling rice for me.
It has been 4 year since i know him (dont even have a photo of him), whenever the month of May gets nearer... he would extend his invitation to me to attend the Wagner party (usually a day before OTC), meant for his suppliers, partners, subordinates and friends. Should i say Yes, i am coming, he will do up all the pickup and loging arrangement in return for my attendance. Sadly, each year i failed to fly over to Houston to meet up with him and his family.
Since the start of the year, i had told myself that i would like to travel out to some places which snows during Christmas... If things goes smoothly, i know where i will be heading this year end - a personal visit to meet up with Hans and family... It has never came across me to visit him when he is not in his best but i really do miss him and wish to hear his laughters. Lets see how it goes...

Hello Ivy!
Wow, you Singaporeans really know how to live it up, good show!
Ivy, the reason why I have been relatively quiet the last couple of months is that my cancer has made another appearance and I am undergoing therapy, a specific form of chemo. I have a renal carcinoma on my left rib on my left side, a tumor called clear cell carcinoma, about 20 mm. They detected it during a routine checkup. The medication does not make you very energetic and the side effects are no fun either. But, this coming Thursday is the end of my first round and I should be feeling better in no time at all, at least that is what the manufacturer of the medication says.
Keep the mails coming, sooner or later I will get to it, and I will always respond to your messages.
Take good care of yourself!
Hans & Theresa
P.S. I will send the pictures from the 2011 ClampOn Party soon, you missed a good one, but you already knew that.

Hi Hans,
Its been quite sometime since OTC… I thought you say you would sent me some photos regarding the party / exhibition?
I am travelling to Bali this weekend to attend a wedding as a bridesmaid.
How is your health? Hope all is fine. Send my regards to your wife too…
Beijos,
