Turning Points of my Life – Losing a Sister and getting a Daughter – 25 May 12

You are currently viewing Turning Points of my Life – Losing a Sister and getting a Daughter – 25 May 12

Today is the 25th May, the birthday of my sister Para whom we lost in a car accident. It has been six years now that she is gone. I remember the day when she was born and I was six years old. I remember even the time before she was born when I was praying to get a sister. We were two brothers already and I wanted to have a sister.

We grew up very closely together, all four of us. Losing her was the biggest loss and the saddest experience for me and my family. Her leaving this world so suddenly changed a lot of things in my life, just over night.

She lives in our hearts and memories, always alive. But especially on her birthday I miss her.

Some months after losing her, I met Ramona. Life developed in another way. Last year, when Ramona was pregnant, I wished for a daughter and my wish was fulfilled. This year, on 9th January, we got our Apra. That was another turning point of our lives. Since her birth, life has changed completely again. I wrote you before that in my life I have never experienced that much joy and happiness. We, our whole family, experiences the most happy of times.

I am glad to see that the smile and shine in my mother’s eyes which was gone with the loss of her daughter came back with the birth of her granddaughter. It is great to see her playing and shining again with so much happiness in this age.

It is a big mix of emotions on this day but in the end it is all just love. For my sister and my daughter.
