Valdi passed on last night

Howdy.
Well,
the uncle I to you about yesterday passed away last night at 12.30 am..
So, yeah.. not much to say.

I did my final documentary from Film school about him.
Think you can still see it on their home page www.kvikmyndaskoli.is and there under lokaverkefni. and I think you can also put the homepage in English. The documentary is simply called "VALDI".

But he must be happy where he is now, was always saying he missed his mom and dad.
(they died few years ago, the best grandparents, grandpa died 102 years old and grandma around 96)

I wanted to make the motion picture about him better but now he probably doesn't care at all.

you see the "kakes" infront of him? He LOVED these, with suggar.
For examples about his language:
He said Ábba in staid of Ása,
to say "now you're liing" he put one finder on his left hand under his left eye.
To say "You are not related to me" he said "Mómmi".
He said this often for fun when he thought we were...yeah.. something else and as well when he was making a joke.

Here are more pics of him, think it's taken "06

little news from the Olympics in China +...

GOOOOOOOOOODDD EVEENINNNNNG Every one.
Long time not a letter written here.

Hope everyone's ok and well.

(written down the 1st of September)
Good morning folks.
Now I'm hand writing this here at one of the hospitals in Reykjavík. It's 09:20 am, I drove Þóra to the kindergarden at 7.30.
the deal about sitting at a hospital is Valdi one of my fathers brother, they are 8 siblings, dad is the 2ond youngest and Valdi the youngest .
Valdi is rather special like all of us +
being a hunchback like you can see in the story
"the ringer in Notre Dame" I think it's called.
He has his own language and is a total dude if I can say that.
For example maybe if he meet me, a close relative on the street, he acts like he doesn't know me, it doesn't suit him at that time to do that. he's maybe talking to girls or so called cool people. heheee.
But about his condition. There isn't as much of a space for his organs in his body cause his condition. But he hasn't needed to be on a hospital often through life.
The time before this was 6 years ago.
To make a story shorter....... Now fluid is filling his lungs + other things and it's not known if he's going to make it or not, it's 50 %-50 %.


Not a good pic but well you see something ;)

(What I'm writing now.. at this moment)
But Away from that. My body is really complaining now, still ruind after the accident but I'm trying new things still, like natural doctors and more. Hoping it's going to be alright soonish.
So, I'm doing that right now and just working and working.

To more joyful things :)
Did you all know Iceland won second price in Handball at the Olympics ? :)
Second place man!! :)

Jeyyy, we're only 300.000.- but we're talanted that's no doubt.

New York Times even had a article about us the
23 of August, called "An Olympic saga continues"

I think you should deffinetly look it up :)

But it's getting rather long blog so I'm going to stop now,
promise to write more soon..

Feel well, happy and sunny until next time,
Regard and a hug, Ása Björg.
P.s. Love you mamma, pabbi, k-ið og G.T. Heyrumst fljótt.
