mothers day 2019

dearest Mommy, my daughter…......

i still remember the unconditional love I always felt from my Oma. she would send me postcards when I was still a little girl and she would spoil me by sending me surprise packages with gifts that were the best. when I was able to read and write she thought me the importance of staying in contact with each-other even if there is an ocean between us. We would write to each-other every monday, there was no internet or Skype WiFi those days. memories like these highlight what’s important in my life and have had a big impact in molding me into the family minded person that I am today.

later on in life, in my twenties, I always made sure I went at least one time a year to visit her with Christopher and you to just be with my kids and their great grandmother. this was always in the end of January during her Bday. today on mother’s day I’m taking a moment to look back and feel her, try to hear her voice and imagine I can smell her. Having my morning coffee out of the cup she would drink hers when she would have a “kleintje koffee” makes it even more special.

on the 22th of july I was blessed with the title of Oma and can’t wait to build this special bond with “baby Puka”. she is such a lucky soul to have chosen you to be her Mommy to come in to this world and this family. it is proven that you start your life inside of your grandmother, every female fetus, including your mom, developed all the eggs she will ever have while a fetus still inside of her own mom. there is some thing so magical about this fact now that you, my Princessa, are pregnant with this little girl, you can gaze down on your growing belly and envision carrying your potential future grandchildren inside of you. dushi enjoy every moment you can of you pregnancy and before you know it there is a copy of you in your Donny’s arms.

love you, and will always try to be there for all of you💗
