Kim and Wim’s relationship was a blend of action and emotion—he was a man of doing, she of feeling. Despite her dedication as a caregiver, Kim regrets not seizing a simple but meaningful opportunity. When Wim texted, “wanneer gaan we nog eens van bil?” she now wishes she had replied, “Nu!” How often do we hesitate to act on our desires? Could a single word change a lifetime of memories?
This poignant tale invites listeners across Belgium to reflect on their own moments of hesitation and the power of communication. For those interested, all episodes are available on the Nieuwsblad app and the podcast channel of “Tot Onze Grote Spijt.”
