F\u00f6rsta kontakten med Kerstin kommer jag inte ih\u00e5g — kanske var det genom Hj\u00e4lpstickan.
\nD\u00e5 var hon p\u00e5 v\u00e4g mot 5000 m\u00f6ssor, och Hemmets Journal intervjuade henne om det.
\nSedan intervjuade jag henne precis vid 5000-strecket.
\nOch efter det h\u00f6ll vi kontakten och resonerade om m\u00f6ssor, om var i v\u00e4rlden det beh\u00f6vdes m\u00f6ssor, om nyf\u00f6dda i Nepal, om min prototyp till Olles brorsa (ganska lik Kerstins "p\u00e4ppelm\u00f6ssa" men helt i tunt yllegarn, n\u00e5got som Kerstin inte riktigt trodde p\u00e5) och om en del annat.<\/p>\n
En av Kerstins m\u00f6ssor till en liten nyf\u00f6dd i Nepal.
\nHon var allvarligt sjuk redan f\u00f6rsta g\u00e5ngen vi skrev till varandra, men det ber\u00e4ttade hon bara om i bisatser. Att det var s\u00e5 bra att sticka n\u00e4r hon inte kunde sova p\u00e5 grund av v\u00e4rken, till exempel.
\nF\u00f6r inte s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge sedan fick hennes hj\u00e4lpstickarv\u00e4nner reda p\u00e5 att hon hade f\u00e5tt ett tr\u00e5kigt besked hos doktorn. M\u00e5nga skickade garn f\u00f6r att hon skulle kunna forts\u00e4tta sticka sig igenom det sv\u00e5ra.
\nNu i veckan orkade inte Kerstins kropp l\u00e4ngre.
\nJag tror att vi \u00e4r m\u00e5nga som kommer att sakna hennes meddelanden och uppmuntrande kommentarer — alltid, alltid avslutade med "kram", "kram" utan punkt, rakt ut i luften bara.
\nVi f\u00e5r t\u00e4nka p\u00e5 hur mer \u00e4n 5000 m\u00e4nniskor, b\u00e5de h\u00e4r i Sverige och i m\u00e5nga andra l\u00e4nder, g\u00e5r omkring i varsin m\u00f6ssa som hon stickade f\u00f6r att ha n\u00e5got annat \u00e4n sjukdom och sm\u00e4rta att t\u00e4nka p\u00e5. Men inte bara d\u00e4rf\u00f6r: hon ville hj\u00e4lpa andra. Hon fr\u00e5gade alltid vart hon skulle skicka n\u00e4sta paket, var behoven fanns.
\nTack, Kerstin, f\u00f6r all energi och uppmuntran och gl\u00e4dje du har spridit! Och f\u00f6r v\u00e4rmen i dina tankar och h\u00e4nder! Vi skickar v\u00e5ra kramar rakt ut i luften till dig och f\u00f6rs\u00f6ker forts\u00e4tta arbeta tillsammans i din anda.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
