About the mother
I was born 1970 in Gothenburg and grew up with my parents, an older sister and a younger brother in Mölndal.
My fathers biggest interest was sailingboats. We were always out with "Charade" a Najad 34 on every summer weekend and holiday. My interest in sailing and the ocean is from this time.
There has not been alot of sailing in my adult life but it may come later :-)
In the winter we went skiing and there is another interest of mine, though I prefer the sun and a warmer climate if I have to choose.
I have always read alot, mostly fiction, but much other things too. My mother once told me not to read that much - then she wasn't talking about fiction, where she is reading alot more than me.

My favorite subjects in school was in science and technology so my first study was to laboratory technician. In the middle of the nineties I found my biggest interest in the computer/IT field.
Now i've been working with IT since 1999 as a Software engineer, Network technician, Infrastructure technician. My favorite operating system is of course Netware, but now Linux. I have worked in a rather small place most of the years and that have given me more width than depth to my knowledge in IT, on the other hand there has not been many boring days.
I think of myself as a thinker, introvert, analysts, problem solver, abit philosopher and score INTJ on most Myers-Briggs Type Indicator personality tests. My feeling of being an "outsider" or different could be found here as only 0,9% of the female population is getting the INTJ personality type.
And finally, I am the mother of two sons. My first boy was born 1991 and my second, Arvid, was born 2007. Both intelligent, kind, and nice to spend time with and they sort of helped me from becoming a totally nerd in the IT field.
In 2016 our life took a unexpected and unwanted turn which this Site project is all about. It has made me read and learn about things I don't have an interest in. It has put us in situations we don't want to be in, and many times forced me to be someone i'm not, it has given me knowledge I don't want and it has taken our life from us. This is no life. But I have faith and hope for Arvid to recover.
And until then - "Every day has it's time" - I think it is Van Veeteren by Håkan Nesser that says this now and then.
