This post exemplifies the type of great content that we at @postpromoter enjoy reading and would love to see more of on the Steem platform. Keep up the good work!
Wow,
thank you so much for your support.
Your effort motivates me a lot to carry on and work even more on my writing. Thank you again!
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.
Yes, since that time I try to observe better, what is happening around me to see the signposts. Still missing many I guess.

This is a very good question, I have asked myself the same question over and over again ... for what reason did "they" separate the children? For what reason, did "they" cut and block all connection to the other side of the family? I believe that there must have been a reason. I mean sure times were different in the 50s, but there must be any reason for this. I have been searching for an answer to that since 20 years and have come across some bits of information here and there concerning this, but still missing a big puzzle piece.
Yes, finally getting in contact again started a process of connecting again as well with the three children. I am happy that, at the end the healing process could finally start.
Well, we can't keep track of all the signpost but by paying a little bit more attention to the little details, we lose less of them.
Hopefully, you will someday get the answers to all of your questions. And if you don't, you will still be happy because you have found them now. I can only imagine how fulfilling that must be!!
Yes, definitely. Would be great to have a class in school learning about these signposts or at least learning a little bit more about how life works.
xx
It really will be!
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.
here is a pic
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 :)
This is definitely the reason why I love old artefacts and findings !!! When I feel into old things, that makes them so special.
What a beautiful tea glass this is.
I like also using old cutlery and plates as well. Actually not many things I have around are new, and if ... they are put together by me from old stuff and antique furniture, that I have painted and reused.
Yes, the bathrobe ... I was laughing when I returned to the room, I think I barely realised that I went down with the bathrobe on, in this situation .... hahaha
I cannot understand ... until today .... I don't understand why they did that. This is so unbelievable. Imagine just a day after your parents have died this way, they even separated the three children and then to select these people for them. How can anyone be so without a heart without any feelings and make such a decision?
Since they were put into the foster care until some weeks before that day in 1999, they have not been together again.
xx
Heartbreaking. I really do not understand the reasoning. I can't. I don't have that kind of mind.
It confuses and angers me that someone would traumatize those children even more - and to this day, to see the legacy of suffering. wow.
the tea glass - that one is just a picture from the internet hehehehe Mine is different. I packed it up in the move, so I'll get it out soon (and actually look for a new one to buy too!)
and your bathrobe. LOLOLOL soooooooooooo funny!!!!!! but that's what happens sometimes, right? just - the mind takes over and all sense of "normal etiquette" goes right out the window! LOLOL plus - it was a cruise ;) I'm sure your bathrobe was better than some of the bathing suits that people wear on deck! heheheheheh
Yes, this confuses and angers me until today and I think this will anger me also until the end of days.
Maybe I just have no mind to think like that, too. I could never ever do anything like that, this would simply break my heart and I would never recover.

If you go on like that, someone should film this story!
Hihi, yes, I think that life itself creates some of the best stories. Would be a cool idea to have a movie made from it. So many lessons I have learned through this story and so much lovely little stories come with it. Maybe ... more people would love to hear it.
yessssssss @ravijojla!!!! this is totally something from a movie!!!! It's so amazing... it just keeps twisting and turning and leading you deeper into the revelation of beauty, hope, joy, and love <3
ohhh ... this is what I thought about finding my family when I was sitting in front of the picture at grandma's sofa.
I should never say ... never ... lolOh yeahh @ravijojla @dreemsteem ... I would love to see my story one day in form of a movie ... I guess this will never happen,
Thank you so much @dreemsteem <3
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.
E x
Thank you so much <3 there are still many puzzle pieces missing to fully understand why the separation happened and for what reason. I mean there must have been a reason for this. The separation really was one more huge trauma after the trauma.
When I started to write about it, I wan't sure if anybody would like to read it. What I felt is, that I have to write it down also for me in a sense. Felt like I had to put it on paper ... screen I mean :)
xx
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

Dear @kchitrah, this is how I felt when writing it. Like sitting around at a table with friends, speaking about life. Thank you so much, this was so important for me and it is so good to hear, that you felt like this.
Yes we are One. Without meeting everybody I met on my way, some of the persons gave me an obvious impulse (or information), from some I learned, some are friends until today. Every single person had a big meaning for me. We are One. Otherwise I would still sit in front of the photograph of my aunt without a clue. So true what you said.
Thank you so much, try to rest on this Sunday,
xx have a relaxing Sunday too @kchitrah
I'm sitting here at our Cafe, smiling remembering and wondering... filling in the gaps with images of my own.
Xx
These are the best images, for sure! So happy, that you enjoyed the time with my writing. <3

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 :)
Thank you so much for the Dreemie @dreemsteem! I loved writing every word and I am so happy and honored to receive this Dreemie!
Thank you again very much!
<3
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!

I felt dressed in a way, didn't feel it right away and I think being in my thoughts so so much, after all this time finally having the chance of getting closer in my research, made my heart beat so loud and made me forget my brain in the room .... lololThank you so much @maquemali, yes oh this was such a moment ... I had this bathrobe on and really really no idea ...
Yes, oh I know this moments you are telling hihihihi
We have such a tiny little house and low ceilings ... sometimes I run around here in thoughts and ..... bumb ... bumb my head and again ....
thoughts and dreams are so great ...hihihi
xx
hahaha we can all relate to that barin-forget moments..
oh! I love how your brain works with all your thoughts. keep them coming @anutu, we just love to read it.. I cannot wait for more.. and I saw you had one new posted.. I'll be there in a zippy! haha gotta check on my boss first...sssshhhhhh... im just peeking trough here..
I am so so happy that you love it!Right now I am working on the next part. I will still take some time, but I will for sure continue shortly @maquemali :)
dont rush it in.. take your time into writing, things will just flow right in. You'll never notice how much you had written.
i cannot wait!
Yes, this is so important. I first write a little outline and then wait for some time and let the details of what I remember form up until I get into the more deeper details of remembering. In this stage I usually have the precise picture of what I have seen, smelled, heard .... and all the feelings back <3
