Spoiling Babes

Potsdam, Germany
0:30 am
Cold wind, dark

Hey,

I did a lot for just myself over the last couple of days. Loosing my aunt has hurt, a great deal, but I am coping surprisingly well. I miss her, but also know that no matter where she is now, everything is better than it has been before. I love you!

Last weekend I went to Hanover to get spoiled by my aunt Traute. She’s a strong woman and a great inspiration for me. She took me out for lunch, did bike rides with me around Hanover. Made me breakfast every morning and just listened as I talked. Sometimes I was the one listening, as she did the talking. One thing always seems strange: she’s convinced I am the perfect Christian. Her arguments are about my opinions on life, loving to help with rarely accepting anything in returning and my openness towards other people and cultures. There’s one thing though: I do not believe in God.


The last couple of days I spend some time with Marina. BTW, she’s working on her driver’s license right now. I decided to put some of my great-aunt’s money to good use. She would have loved that.

I also spend some time with Max. He’s growing up so fast. Asking for his “erni”, running in and out of the room and charming everyone with his adorable smile.


And today I was out with Jana and her lovely son Yannick. He’s the cutest little guy. We strolled around Potsdam and its Parks for 3 hours, while Yannick enjoyed his prime seat.



There’s no better medicine to cure a soul than the laughter of a child. The three of us decided to go visit Sandra. She had taken a rain check on the walk because she had to clean her apartment. Okay, she was surprised and I guess a bit miffed, but in the end she loved having Jana and Yannick there.



He took a nap and was up and about afterwards.


Have a peaceful night.
Love, A.
