Oh Igone, I remember so well the first time I heard your name. It rolled simultaneously from the mouths of Han Ebbelaar and Alexandra Radius, the royal couple of dance. Matthijs van Nieuwkerk asked them who the Alexandra Radius of this time was, and there came the answer. In stereo. Loud and clear: Igone. I remember looking at my husband. Wow. What a name. As if it was already destined at the naming that you would walk a special path.

Years, years later it would be my husband who suggested this name when our youngest daughter was born. That the name means resurrection, has helped both of us at a moment in our lives. You have had a tough time, you now tell in your biography. How different was the lacquered exterior compared to the cold shower that often awaited you behind the scenes. Your TV adventure was like finding a love that truly fits. Discovering that it can be different. Warmer, kinder, and at least as fun. You said goodbye, chose yourself. Because filling Carré, you can also do that on your own. Easily. And with a smile. In every way. I look forward to your book, darling. And to see you, too.
