Letter from Mama Johnny

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…..
