Holly's story

He is out, he is out he is OUT!!!!!!!
he is in a halfway house, which seems to be a place where they go to get used to their freedom. Yesterday everyone was telling us this will be the LAST night there for him, and we said... no, the trial is tuesday. This surprising country, he is there today and he loves it! no prison regime, no guards around, it is... just a house. he is really happy, he can leave on wednesday morning at 5. which means i guess he can come say goodbye at the airport...
But maybe the judge will let him go altogether.
Maarten has spoken with the dutch consul who assured us if (and this is a big if) IF he can leave the country, we shouldn't expect any problems at Schiphol in Amsterdam, or anywhere. he is an american citizen visiting his grandchildren. But that would be too good to be true, we will know more tomorrow.
Anyway, whatever happens he will be able to come and go from wednesday on, we'll see what happens. He sounded 20 years younger when i spoke to him. the anxiety is over, the waiting is nearly over.
please leave a comment if you read this, words of encouragement, anything. i will show him this blog on wednesday, before getting on the plane back home.
