Fons, i still cannot believe it… and maybe i just do not want to believe it. Cause i still feel your presence. You have taught me, and so many others, so much!! I am certain that I would not have managed it without you…. completing the PhD project. Your passion for research, your drive were so inspiring to me… and not even to mention how fast you were capable of getting so much done in so little time. Your speed and accuracy have always blown my mind. I am so grateful that our paths have crossed. It is truly very hard, for me actually, to put into words how much you mean to me. It seems that every word, every sentence does not describe it, does not cover it,.... not even a bit. But the most amazing thing, despite your passion about research, is that you supported me when i was willing to leave the academic world, and wanted to start my own yoga studio. You told me that i should take that step, otherwise I would regret it the rest of my life… How amazing, and wonderful to hear those words from you!!! And i never told you how much I admired that in you… how much faith you gave me on that particular moment. I hope that you feel my gratitude, wherever you are. Cause i believe that such a beautiful soul will be forever! And even now, I learn from you, .. cause your humbleness shows me that you are more a yogi then i will ever become. Fons, you are a true inspiring teacher, and you will be in my heart forever, and in so many hearts more!!
