Ohana means family

Posted on by

This is a letter we got from your grandparents from Berlin. We read it together, Marcus helping me with the translation, sitting in a small cafe by the beach in Paihia, Northland New Zealand, waiting for our eggs benedict with bacon, sipping latte. the day was beautiful and I did not think it could be much better but this letter made it even more amazing, there is so much love and feelings in it.

You are so lucky my little one that when you will be growing you will have people like this around you, that they are people closest to you.


And this is what real beauty is, the one that shines from inside, not the way people look or the clothes they wear, you read this letter and you cannot help thinking how beautiful the people who wrote it are and this beauty will never go away on its own, it will never dissapear with time, unless, like uncle Claudi said in his little story about old wise  Indian, you will keep feeding the wrong wolf.

Ohana means family, if you watched the Stitch animation already, and if not ask your parents to show it to you, hope you will now imagine the little outsider saying it. Family means no one stays behind

Liebe Ewa und lieber Marcus!

Heute habe ich noch einmal Ewa`s Tagebuch für Haumea gelesen. ( mit Übersetzung).
Ich habe die ganze Zeit weinen müssen, aus diesen Zeilen spricht so viel Liebe, Freude
und Güte. Sie hat so ein warmes Herz, genau wie du lieber Marcus. Ihr Zwei seid wirklich
etwas ganz Besonderes, euch muß man einfach lieb haben. Auch wenn ihr ganz weit weg seid, denken wir jeden Tag an euch und beten auch für euch alle DREI. Rarotonga ist doch wirklich das Paradies auf Erden, auch wenn es wenige Abstriche gibt, aber  so ist es nun mal auf dieser Erde.

Wir freuen uns jeden Tag mit  euch und freuen uns riesig auf unser Enkelkind.
Heute schicke ich einen Brief an euch ab mit einer CD : Klassik für Babys”. Um meinen
Favoriten  habe ich ein kleines Herzchen gemacht. Es heißt :”An der Wiege”. Es ist
wunderschön. Aber die anderen Titel sind auch sehr schön. Es ist auch etwas Schokolade
für Ewa mit drin ( für Marcus natürlich auch).

So meine Lieben , wir wünschen euch ein
schönes Wochenende, wir denken an euch und drücken euch. Ein besonderer Gruß
an unsere kleine Haumea!!!

Eure lieben Eltern.

 

Letter from Mama Johnny

Posted on by

Dear Haumea,

today your daddy received this beautiful letter from an outstanding woman and he had to share it with Mum right away and we both think you need to read this too. Johnny and Claudio belong to a group of people who we would like to be a beacon of hope and goodness for you.

“Thank you, dear Marcus.  You will be the most fabulous father ever, and I will send you loving and warm spirits every day from now on so that you will continue to develop to you fullest potential as a father and HUSBAND…Hurray!!!!  Haumea, my daughter, is a beautiful woman, endowed with love, kindness, warmth and respect for others.  Haumea the Hawaiian spirit goddess was the mother of mankind, that is probably why she serves the people she knows, including those who come newly into her life with Polynesian grace.  So, it is a girl?

Dear, dear Marcus, I am thrilled for you and Ewa.  To think that  Haumea will have her first swim in the very same lagoon that I love so much, and dig the sand in front of your home.
Sophia returns to Anchorage tonight.  She’s been with us for two wonderful weeks.  She is eighteen now, you know.  She attends the U of Alaska hoping to major in psychology, yikes.  I hope I will not be her first client.  Tevana finishes high  school in May and will also major in the same subject.
Thank you so much for your email, it has given me joy.  Take care of Ewa and make sure she swims and walks, and sleeps beside you.  If you caress the spot on the stomach where the baby is moving, put your lips to it and speak to her in the sweetest tone, too, the same tone and words every time and you will be surprised at how happy she will be once she is in our world and she hears the same voice speaking to her.  Unfortunately, she won’t be able to say: ‘Hi, Daddy-O.” In time, though , she will.  You must be in seventh heaven.
Warmest and deepest Aloha – to Ewa, too.  (Better low-key your praise of me for a woman (most women) doesn’t  feel comfortable with her man praising another, even if it’s a 79 and 5 months old woman. (Still swim, walk, hike, sky dive, etc.)”
Once again, a grown man was shedding tears of joy on a public transport vehicle…..
