There is a story we'd like you to know:Once upon a time, many moons ago,When you were just a wish upon a star,A twinkle in the sky, oh so far.The thought of you would make us smile,And we would talk of you, all the while.
Dear Tania,
God weaved inside Mommy when your Mommy and Daddy were far away from our family in the country called England or UK (united Kingdom). Mommy was accompanying your Dad whom at that time studied at Sussex University for his Master's Degree. We live in a city called Brighton in the South of England.
You came as a lovely gift from God. We have been talking about having a baby but we don't know when will be the right time for us to be ready to receive you. We have prayed out this and we believe God's time is always the perfect time. God then decided to gave you when were far away in a different country. We were overjoyed when we learned that you have come to us. But we were also scared, because of so many things such as: Can we be a good parents to you? Do we know how to raise you right? Do we have enough money? etc etc... But all that worries are nothing compared to the realization that you are soon to be born to us.
Daddy held Mommy the minute that we know Mommy is pregnant with you and we prayed. You are a gift, our little bundle of joy from God. We know we have loved you right then and will always love you.
The Day We know You are Coming
It was January 7th, 2010.
Mommy was not feeling well for the last few weeks. Headache, dizzy spells and no appetite.
Daddy jokingly told Mommy to go and check if something is wrong and that minute we found out that Mommy is pregnant. Unlike anything on romantic movies or soap opera where the man will lift up the woman and then sweet music plays in the background etc... Your Mom and Dad were in emotional cocktail.
We were so overjoyed, confused and couldn't believe it...
We sat down and hugged each other for a long time.
It felt Sureal... SUREAL!
The next day, we did another test and still it was positive. We are now sure... that our little baby is coming.
On January 9th, we phoned to Ambon to let both Grandmas and Granpas know about your coming.
This is a much too good news for us to keep especially when we were far away in foreign land.
Everyone was excited.
Your coming is so perfectly planned by God. God prepared everything that we need prior to your coming.
A new accomodation, a house, with a very nice landlord who treated us like their own family. Jan and Rusty have also loved you ever since we told them on Jan 10th.
From then on... our life changed. You are the conter of our thoughts and joy. We talked about you. Dream about you and pray for you. -
