Hi, I'm Yolanda Rider,
What's very important to me is how someone feels.
How you feel during the ceremony is important. If I can give you that best moment of the day, it will make me happy.
Why did I become a babe?
Why do I want to be a wedding official? That's a long story...sit down and I'll tell you.
"The birth of my dream
May 2016, my brother died. My older brother, my big brother who knew everything before I could. Until his death. Even in his last period, he became my hero! My brother who, in the last months of his life, managed to be selfless. In a final sprint he dedicated himself to patients by donating chemochairs to the Red Cross
hospital in Beverwijk. That the patients who get chemo after him will be better off than he is.
I spoke at his funeral. Making such a speech is quite a process. During the writing more and more memories surfaced, so I kept adding and deleting in the text. After a long period of polishing a piece of underneath remained for about 20 minutes.
A week after his funeral I have a natural quest. During this nature quest I go into a forest (in this case it was in Bant). I have a mat, sleeping bag and a bottle of water with me. And I will have to do with that all day long. No phone, no watch, no notepad with pen, no food or something to snack on. Nothing at all. Just me and a few things. There are quite a few people in the woods with me. The intention is to be out of each other's sight and certainly not in contact with each other. I'm looking for a place and I'm going to install myself. Best get used to this. I sit with my back against a big pine tree with a thick trunk. I once read that when you sit with your spine against a tree it gives you energy and strength. Well, pine tree, come on. When I'm all right, I actually fall asleep right away. After a while I wake up with an empty head. No idea how long I've slept because I don't have time with me. I don't have a headache, no thoughts, nothing at all. That's very special. I look around. The branches of the trees gently dance in the wind, the sun comes from behind a cloud every now and then and I see spiders and beetles running everywhere. I hear birds whistling and otherwise it is quiet. My thoughts wander to my brother. Hey Hans, is it okay? Is it really all right? Are you really happy? Like your mourning card said? Is there any way you can let me know it's okay? In any way, do you think you can? Of course nothing's coming. Many hours I look around relaxed and I still have a very empty head. This is delicious! Sometimes I want to know what time it is. And then suddenly I hear a squeak. As if someone is squeezing a toy animal. Beep beep beep beep... I look up to see what kind of bird this is. No, it's not from the sky, and it's from below. It's coming closer, it's coming from...suddenly there's a deer calf coming. I look full of amazement. I feel my heart pounding. How beautiful this is! A deer calf. Oooh where's his mother? Ooh soon his father will be here. I'll retract my legs and make myself as small as possible so as not to disturb nature. My heart beats even louder. The deer is getting closer and closer. Up to about 3 meters away. I make myself even smaller. Then he walks back a bit and lies down. As if he checked if it's okay with me. This is unbelievably beautiful. Such a sweet little and vulnerable creature that goes to sleep so close to me. It's safe here. Of all those people who are in the woods, he chooses me to come and sleep. Then after a while I suddenly hear the same kind of squeak from the other side. Yeah, there's another deer calf coming up. The first deer reacts to the squeak. They jump around together. As if they are happy to have found each other. Then they run jumping and hopping in my direction. They get so close. Meanwhile, my heart is pounding in my throat. Aaaah what should I do. I'm not allowed to touch them. Then they'll walk back and each go to sleep in their own place. How beautiful this is! What a beautiful experience. I can't share this with anyone now. Actually, it's okay...huh my brother? It's all right. Thank you Hans! You're not alone, you're happy. Thank you!
