Dear Vozinha e Vozinho Fofinho,
You have left a big empty feeling in our home and in our hearts; we are all missing you! At the same time, we are very grateful that you came all the way from Portugal to spend two weeks with us, to celebrate Daniel's 1st Birthday and to give us much joy. Thank you! The memories of our time together are wonderful and they are many... I put together the best photos of our two weeks together so that we can keep all the memories alive - check out the slide show (to download or see bigger, click on the slide show and you will be taken to Picasa).
We love you and please come back soon!
With all our love,
Ana, Jonny and your special grandson, Daniel

Aninha-Jonny, thank you very much for your message and special photos in the blog. You made me cry again! Back in Portugal, when I realized I was so far away from Daniel, that I could not hold him, kiss him and play "vaquinha" with him, I had a very hard time! I cried, cried and did not have energy to do anything. Then, I began to pray for God to give me hope that we will live closer in the future. Where? How? I left up to HIM to sort out this plan. Our little and sweet "boy wonder" is very special Aninha! His happiness and self-confidence are shown in everything he does. The pictures in the Columbia Mall playground are the proof of his independence and contentment. And we thank you and Jonny for the wonderful parents you are. Daniel's attitudes and behavior are result of your caring, and deep loving he receives from you (We are very proud of you!). Let me ask you: Could I "return" to be born again but as Jonny-Aninha's baby? Crazy question! But this is the best way I can find to demonstrate to you-Jonny how I feel of you two - as parents! Stephen and I cannot stop remembering our time with Daniel (you-Jonny too!) and will cherish it together for ever. We enjoy remembering him clapping or flapping his hands, trying to speak or sing or immitating Buff, laughing or smiling, crawling quickly, climbing the stairs, doing "moooh" with vozinha, wanting "virar cambota" with vozinho and...we miss him immensely! Let's begin planning our next meeting to alleviate this terrible pain in our hearts? We love you very much.Vozinha and vozinho fofinho
ReplyDeleteSo sweet to see the lovely photos of your mother's visit! It was wonderful for me to see her and Steven too. She is a wonderful woman and Daniel is very lucky to have her as his grandmother!
