I miss my loved ones in Norway. I want to go home now.
Kirsti Sparboe (73) is at the right distance, a distance she considers too great. It’s a long way from Oslo to Sjöb in the Skåne countryside.
Now I miss Norway, I have lived in Sweden for 16 years. Now I want to go home, home to Norway. But I’m sitting like coronafast in Sweden. I can’t visit my family in Oslo, or go sightseeing. Then I’m in quarantine.
– He will not die in Sweden
– I will not die in Sweden – she says.
optimistic in life: – He helped when the cancer reappeared. Plus,
But it doesn’t sound like a dying woman on the other end of the phone:
There is also dedication, will and a blow – but also the pain and scratches that life has inflicted on her. Three years have passed since the great love of her life, Terje Dahl, died.
– Learn to live again
– I had to learn to live again. Living alone. Bob died, as expected, but still hurt, great sadness. I lost it gradually.

– Terje suffered from Alzheimer’s disease, he was ill for several years before he died at the age of 81.
Like other families affected by Alzheimer’s disease, the insidious dementia that slowly destroys memories and lets personality unravel has also left its mark on Sparboe.
– A big transition
I nursed him at home for four years, but the last two years Bob was in a nursing home. It was too demanding to have him at home, but we were together a lot. Again, he knew me to the last end, but they might take a while.
It was overwhelming to be completely alone, far from my daughter Christina (53) and granddaughter Caroline (28) in Oslo.

– The transition was great, suddenly I was alone. We had dogs, but they died too, and I thought I was too old for a new dog.
Oscar – “my man”
But then Oscar – a dachshund – came into my life. The dog is sociable and a good companion.
– You are still a great woman. In the 60s, when the world was black and white, there were two women I was in love with, you and Wenche Myhre. So what about the new man?
– Thank you for the compliment – she says and adds:

I would get them, and I had my people. No, I’m done with men. Now I have Oscar is “the man” in my life. We talk, and I understand exactly what he wants and “says”. Every day at noon we go for a walk in the hundeparken, it’s important to keep fit,” says Sparboe.
Young head – old in the body
He tells us that he lives well, is vital and healthy, keeps fit, reads, eats well and is modest with alcohol.

– I’m not one of those who drink a lot of wine. I’m careful with alcohol.
aging is a strange and wonderful thing for all who are allowed to add many years, days and hours behind them.
I’m still young in the head. Only the body ages, not the mind. I notice that I’m moving a little slower, otherwise I’m what I’ve always been.
No more celebrities
Kirsti Sparboe has been an artist and entertainer all her life and is still active after 56 years in the industry. Tromsø – the girl was discovered as a 17-year-old. She released a number of CDs, was an actress, appeared on television, with bl.a. Harald Heide-Steen jr. and Rolv Wesenlund. She also had a great career in several European countries.

She is also the Norwegian artist who has won the Eurovision Song Contest the most times: she represented Norway in the European MGP-Final four times.
I don’t feel like a celebrity anymore. Now, only the well-grown generation knows who I am. I can leave in peace and prosper. When I see realitykjendiser on TV, and it seems to me that they are so sad. Life seems so hollow and inhnladsløst.
Sell leading four million
The farm here in Sjöb is a so-called skånelenge and is called Kringsbygd farm, a beautiful wooden house with almost 20 goals. It’s so idyllic here, but now I’m longing to go back to Norway.
– I almost accepted that men take Dagbladet Plus teats
Sparboe becomes lonely in a big house in a Scanian village. Also, she misses her family and Norway more and more after she becomes a widow.
– I am selling the house for all four million – she says and adds:
– It’s not much, not more than the price of a garage in Oslo. If the property had been closer to Lund, I would have had nine million for a house and a large estate.
It’s not a matter of price or interest, she adds:
– No, I don’t dare to have a look, I won’t have strangers in the house. I’m afraid of corona. I also can’t go to Norway because of the view, when I cross the border, should I be quarantined for fourteen days.
Kirsti Sparboe thrives in a private company and “likes to be alone,” as she puts it. He is afraid of what the corona pandemic is doing to us.
Always a drink in my pocket
I have asthma and have had cancer four times. I am certainly at high risk of getting sick and dying. I downloaded norwegian smittappen and connect me with norwegian coronareglene.

In Sweden, corona people are also free, she claims.
– I always have a bottle of booze in your pocket, it washes me and keeps me away from people when I’m out and going to the store. I’m preforsiktig, I’m afraid I won’t survive if I get infected.
– Go to “graduate”
Death came near. Many of her friends and former colleagues have left. After her husband died, he thought about death in his head.
I’ve always been lively, but it’s clear that I’m thinking about death.

– Now I’m going to graduate school, so I’ll spend my last years in Norway.
Nesodden is the first choice, but she does not rule out another rural property outside Oslo.
I want my rødmalt little living room with a view, where I will spend my last years,” she says.
Hopefully he will be able to return home within the year.
It’s getting a little lonely here so far away from family.
Courage and humor
She was as happy as she was stubborn. Kirsti Sparboe has will, courage and humor. She was an important driving force in life, not least when she was attacking – and in the limelight. She lived her entire adult life in the public eye. He married three times.

Her second husband was the artist Benny Borg, and together they worked on stages and discs for years.
I lived a busy life, there were many hotels, airports and scenes. Now life is quieter and it is good that you are no longer recognized. But now, after this coronavirus came and changed my daily life and the life of the whole world, I feel like I’m living in a vacuum.
Fearing the future
She thinks the time we’re in now is weird and weird and twisted. He tells us that he is more afraid of what coronaen will do to us when the epidemic is over.
Parts of society are lying with broken spines, and the global economy is limping.
I am eager for the future. What will it bring? There is so much around us that has been flattened. I don’t just mean disease and death, but also future generations and economic conditions.
