What a miracle!! Even after all the signpost you missed, you still ended up being reunited with them. 

It is just so sad that your Aunt's children didn't receive the care they deserved while they were young. I believe it wouldn't have been so hard for them to locate their family then. I wonder why they had to do that.

I am glad you were able to find them, and I believe that has brought healing to them in a tremendous way.

Do you know... I've thought of the same thing!   (of course we've had the same thoughts!)

I once thought of tellin a tale. there are these little things that I love - Russian Tea glasses - they're called podstakannik.

and the fancy ones are expensive... but I love the more common, worn ones.  and i imagined.... they are the ones that were used more often!  had seen more fun things... been involved in a lot more celebrations!

The other fancy ones?  Probably locked behind glass on a shelf.

Who would tell the better stories? hehehehe I thought about telling a story from both of their perspectives!  :)

so... yes - i see that beautiful bathtub and think - ohhhhhhhhhhhh so lovely!  and what that tub must have seen! hehehehe

and i was giggling at the thought of you in your robe!  asking the man about Ellendale!  LOLOLOL


as for your family... it is unforgivable that they took those children away withouth seeking their German family!  They were put into foster care and separated?!?!?!  that makes me so angry!!!! And not just foster care - but foster care of people who didn't like Germans! What do people think??? these are CHILDREN!!!

but... the whole story.  i'm so glad that you found your family!  and brought healing!

i always look forward to more :)

Well.... after 4 attempts - we finally got it up to the full Dreemie (i think!) hehehehe

Love to you - your story is so inspiring.  every word :)

Just beautiful Anutu. I can't wait to continue to read this amazing story. It's so incredibly sad that the children were separated and were brought up in such tough circumstances, but also so amazing that you found each other all these long years later.

What can I say? I feel like I just sat in a cafe with you, and you told me the most amazing story. Funny how connected I feel to Hana, and to all the people who just helped bring you closer, one step at a time. Playing such an integral role. Oh, and Elendale.... you and I have a thing about hearing names LOL! and I love it. 

How close and connected we truly are more than we realise. We are One.

I look forward to more, and beyond that, I look forward to the publishing of your book, and for the world to watch, listen and partake of this beautiful love story ... putting it out there ... for I can truly see this possibility ... OH what Joy  I envision for you and all the smiles it would bring many!

Enjoy your well earned Sunday rest @anutu! xx

**Congratulations!!**

Oh my! Just lovely and beautiful story.. Such strong emotions pouring all over it. I love how you narrate everything.. 

haha and i feel you on that robe, our mind is busy pondering on thoughts then we tend to forget things.. i have a similar experience too. I was changing when I had this call, i barely realized that I only put on my shorts and bra. I forgot to slip in my tshirt. And then there was a knock on the door. As i swung it open, the man at door was shock. And i was as shock as he is. I said *what??!*, then akwardly he said, *I think ill come back later if you're fully dress.* hahahaha such an embarassing moment for me.

I am so happy that at the end, you succeeded in finding them! A heart that truly cares, truly finds. 
I really love it!! You well deserved all the awards sent here! <br/><div class="pull-right promo"><sub><p>This comment was made from https://ulogs.org</p></sub></div>
