A few simple peaches or nectarines, that’s what Esther from Amsterdam can really surprise her old friend with. If only because he simply has little appetite for anything else anymore. “He doesn’t eat that much,” she tells NH Helpt. “That’s all he asks.”
Esther has already searched greengrocers and called the necessary addresses. When she drives past a stall or shop with fresh goods, she always stops for that last wish. But so far without success.
Everything on everything
Hence Esther’s call to NH Helpt. “I thought I’d take a shot here, maybe someone here can help.” Because the Amsterdam woman is becoming slightly desperate. She wants to help her good friend, but that is made difficult for her.
“Then you ask: is there anything I can do for you? And then he comes up with this question. Then you want to do everything you can to find that,” says Esther.
Only fresh ones
But: both peaches and nectarines are not exactly in stock during the winter months. At every store she enters she gets the answer: ‘This is not that time of year’. “Yes, I know that too, but you hope you can find them somewhere,” Esther explains.
She doesn’t want the fruit canned or frozen either. Her good friend is really looking forward to the fresh ones and the Amsterdam native hopes that he can taste them during the last phase of his life.
She would find the golden tip ‘really great’. “I would be very happy if he could enjoy that.”
