Sharing the Blessing...a letter from Tante Elly

Dear Yolanda & little girl of my dearest friend Roelie
Excuse my many spelling mistakes.
Hello Yolanda;
I could not make out from your return address who this letter could be from. When I opened it I could not believe it was a child from my friend Roelie. My heart skipped a beat as I read it. I am so pleased and happy and can't wait to meet you & hopefully my dear girl Roelien also. I remember the joy I felt when I met her at the funeral of Ada Bomhoff a few years ago. and yes, do call me Tante Elly, for my love for the girls and boy of my friend Roelie has never changed, and I also can understand that you long to have some questions answered...
...How is Jenny, Betty, Alice, Henriette, Roelien, Brent, Yolanda & Carol doing?...
...I also think over the many years of Roelie and her children. you must not hesitate to come and see me. I can't wait to greet you and who ever wants to visit & talk.
your mamma & I had many talks, and each of her children had a very special place in her heart. I remember I would tell her that she was such a good mother, patient and loving with her brood, but she always answered, Elly, you are better as a mother than I. So I take from that we were both good mothers, of course making mistakes along the way as we learned and grew....
...I so feel you miss your mamma. Dear girl Yolanda, come, feel free, my heart & door is open. I must see my Roelien also. I'll explain when you get here. (I think she means here how she longed to touch Roelien, as I explained in my previous post). My paper is full. Say HI to all. Please write me when you know your date of arrival & visit. Do not hesitate Yolanda. The biggest hug and kisses For Roelien and you and your siblings.
with much love & God's Blessings
in Jesus
my love
Tante Elly
