Thank you, all you Blog Fairies!

Oh my God! He has arrived, and I am so relieved. It was not easy, my poor child (and also the Papa) had to go through a lot. But Little Boy made it into the open, and he is healthy and well and lively.

I am thankful beyond saying. Singing praises all day, sending blessings over to Switzerland (so far away!) and bestowing good wishes on our precious little new grandson.
Our son-in-law called us on the phone, and we could hear him smile when he said, And he looks like Hans!
Which made Opa rise in height and pride, haha!
Finally we could breathe out, and of course we had a glass of Swiss wine last night (Dôle) to celebrate. But most of all I am humble and happy for my children. May all of you recover soon and forget the hardships, and may Little Boy look at life with curiosity and courage, and feel the love he is wrapped in.

You, my dear Blog Fairies, have helped me survive this time of waiting, and I thank you dearly!
All of you who have children of your own, or have a close relationship to children, you KNOW what the moment of birth means.
It is a great wonder, every time again, and here is our promise:
Newborn child, we will help you, and keep you, and love you. You can turn to us, and we will try to be a big friend to you. May your life be wonderful all along. It may not be EASY at times, it is probably not meant to be, but you can count on us to be there to guide you, or console you. And we want to laugh and giggle with you, and share our own joy, and learn from yours.

This promise goes out not only to my own grandchildren. Ever since I became a mama myself, I have looked at other children the same way. They, too, are somebody`s loved one, and unique.
It takes a village to raise a child, the Africans say.
Our Blog Village is one great village, too!
So all my dears, I am celebrating with you, and wishing you and ALL your little children my very best.
Your thankful
Oma Angela
