Peter Burkhardt, a 90-year-old man from the Netherlands, is the embodiment of this idea.
I’ve done skiing with pleasure.
So Ill always get to my wife.

I have to take the situation as it is.
I just want to be with her every day.
I just can’t miss her.
I did it by car for a while.
But even then I alternated it with the bike.
However, nothing stops this senior in love.
I walk a lot less now, but cycling is still going well.
Burkhardt says that his wife doesn’t know what it takes him to reach her every day.
It is completely outside her realm of experience.
I think they keep each other alive with this.
I hope my father inspires other people with this, said his son, Wouter.
Burkhardt’s dedication has certainly moved others.
I want to see her, hear her voice.
When I enter the nursing home I immediately know where she is.
She is no longer the same as she was, Burkhardt said.
But I’m still in love with her.
