A Letter to "Ronnit, my only daughter" to her birthday on January 4, 2003

Ronnit - Modi'in , Purim, 2003_03_16 2003_04_12- Even Yehuda, at Dita's Goodbye party for Tomer

this letter - now translated - came "to light" on 2009_06_21:

On June 21, 2009 I translated part of this letter "...And yet what I wish for you is, that you may reduce your aspirations to less!" Until your only aspiration will be one and only one: Watch how you judge what you feel, Watch how you judge what you feel, when you say: "I should not feel this!" or "I don't want to feel this!" For in this you are saying: "I don't want you Mother God!" "Get out of here, Mother God!" And I, your mother, am in this not one step ahead of you.

7 weeks later, on February 24, 2003 (on her youngest son's 5th birthday) I took this picture,
when Ronnit announced ,
that she would quit her job as a nurse and as the director of a tippat-khalav [Mother-Child-Station],
and cope with the fact, that she had no idea yet, to what job or - studies- she would proceed...
Today - June 2009 - she has her own business of working as a group- facilitator:
"Machon Mekomot", "Institute of Places", a word taken from the Talmudic saying:
"There is no human being who does not have a place (in the puzzle of creation)"

On October 28, 2009, Efrat, my daughter-in-love, forwarded a letter from my daughter, in which, for the first time, I saw her new visit card, created probably with the intense help of Immanuel, her brother, who, with wife and daughter, found refuge in the Shais' home, while they were without flat between Aug. 27 and Sept. 23. I hope, I translate what the Hebrew terms try to convey: Ronnit Shai - R&D, Facilitating and Instructing teams, "Institute of Places", Facilitating, Counseling, Dynamic Group Training, Development of Job Programs In that forwarded letter she shared a video about a ceremony in Warshav, in which Jonathan played-sang a song, which Rotem had discovered the day before: le-mi-shae einoh ma'amin, what about someone who cannot believe...

2003_12_17- together we drive from Modi'in to Micha's family at Mazkeret Batya (probably Chanuka)

Letters to my daughter after a rare meeting.
See about theMichelangelo-Pietá in Florence -his last - and not completed - work
in "How I heal myself into wholeness(2004)" on February 2, 2012

In a fifth letter I inserted a link, "as an addition to the second letter" Kindness Boumerang Ronnit responded to a few technical things, but did not want to go into the "philosophical issues", nor did she want to meet on the proposed date: "It will be too soon for me". I wrote that everything is fine.

to former song to next song

In the evening - in the same micro-park - Mika creates a micro-waterfall on the slide while Tomer watches a gigantic waterfall in Josemite Park in California   Lo and Lo and behold: Behind the brown-black rocks and in front of a grey-black sky Tomer gets enthusiastic after all [the word means "in God" - en-theou!]       While Abba (who is in good physical condition because of his training) explores high mountains and deep waterfalls, his daughter creates an entire fantasy world within half an hour between breakfast and kindergarden: On August 3, I wrote done one such sequence of creations:     While father and son take a panaroma shot in Nature, Mika creates a sun on the breakfast table...   While Tomer sits on the edge above thundrous waters, Mika's doll, carried in a chain around the neck, gets stuck in it...
