Your reactions and encouragements mean more to you than you could possibly imagine. In a way it's still hard to return to this blog post for me but although there are still a lot of obstacles to conquer I've been feeling myself again for a while and you all helped me to achieve that.

You and your children have all of my empathy. I do admire your strength in revealing this and resolve to move forward and make the best of things that do not quite yet have form. When I was diagnosed with cancer it was quite a shock too - right out of the blue - though luckily I've recovered and been in remission and quite healthy for 10 years now. I've always admired your great focus on your kids and family too on your blog and with your photography (your 50mm in 50 days experiment too) so this situation is shocking to me too. I have a deep sense that your are a great father to your children and will always be there for them, even as they go through this difficult ordeal as well. Praying, cheering, and wishing the best for you and yours! Thanks for all you do for them, and us, with your life, inspiration and photography! Dear Bert,

I feel for your pain. This happened to me around 8 years ago now. It is hard to begin with but you WILL recover both emotionally and financially - give yourself time and as you have started to do - call on your friends for support. Your site, advice and videos have helped me a lot. I admire your work and style a great deal. Keep hanging on in there! It will all work itself out, believe me. Steve Bert

It was about 20years after. But I am so proud of you because you did not leave your children, while my mother left us too with our uncle. She go to another country to work and support us financially. Be proud and don't be sad you are very lucky to have your cute and lovable children growing up besides you. Not like me I grew up with my uncle, and till now I am longing for parents hug, love and care.

You inspire me to do better. I always admire your work. I lost my child almost 20 yrs ago when she moved out just like that. The memory brings tears to my eyes. After a few years I now have a wonderful wife and three more children and would not trade them for anything. Don't give up. I pop in sometimes to see what you are doing. You inspire me to do better.

From your post it's clear that your children will not want for a good father. Moreover, children have an amazing ability to process such awful change, especially when you show that you are there for them whatever happens. You must also look after yourself. I hope you do. And you must know that you are not short of friends around here. Hou je taai. Roger Hey Bert,

Such a brave and honest post.

From your post it’s clear that your children will not want for a good father.

Moreover, children have an amazing ability to process such awful change, especially when you show that you are there for them whatever happens.

You must also look after yourself. I hope you do.

And you must know that you are not short of friends around here.

Hou je taai.

Roger
