Wishing U all a happy new year

 So we've come to the end of 2014, an eventfull year. Even though entries to this blog has been scarce i have not had the heart to give it all up yet.  Maybe my New Years Resolution should be to write more?  :D   Anyway ..   today i just want to take the opportunity to wish you all a wonderful new years eve - and may 2015 bring you many memorable moments!

On her birthday

National day

 On Mishelle's birthday the family gathered to celebrate her 7'th. We wrote messages on some helium balloons and sent them up into the sky ( the children hoping she would read them ).   After the ceremony at the cementary, we went home and contiued with cakes and muffins. Even though she is not here in person - she is with us in our hearts and by celebrating her
                                                         birthday like this she will
                                                        continue to be remembered by
                                                        the other children as well.

My father on our National day

  On Norway's national day we started off by decorating Mishelle and my father's place at the cementary before going off to the school to celebrate.  This year it was also our turn to organize the celebration ( Melissa is a 4'th grader and 4'th grade is responsible for this every year ).
In the evening we went to my mothers house, were she had made a delicous cake decorated with the colours of our flag.

That time of year again....

Having some fun during treatment

2 people we miss A LOT

 I don't update my blog much anymore, but i just had to say a few words now. This saturday Mishelle Alyson would have celebrated her 7'th !! birthday  -  and in her honour the family will gather to celebrate her with balloons and cakes.  Monday 28'th marks the fourth year since she left for angel duty - and the sence of loss keeps growing inside me. So many questions occupy my mind; " what would she look like, what would be her favourite music, hobby, sport etc.. "  Questions that will follow me the rest of my life and never be answered.   And to make spring even more melancholic, may 16 marks 1 year since my father passed away. IF there is an after-life i know these 2 are together and having fun - but that does not take away my need to hear their voices or see their faces.  They say time heals all wounds... NO it does not!   It just teaches you to live with the open wound in your heart.

True!

First day of the last month of the year 2013

What have U been this year?

 Well, it's the first day of the last month of an eventful year.  2013 has seen the passing of my father, Melissa has started preparations for her first ever twirling competition(january 2014) and she started in 4'th grade this autumn.   2013 has been a year of ups and downs in many aspects ( health being the key word ) and my hope for 2014 is that it will be a more positiv year for all of us.

As you can see  - i am not so active anymore writing this blogg, and most likely there will only be occasionally updates here. But i am not declaring the death of this blogg just yet... i am keeping the door open for a return...hehhe 

Soon 2014...

Proud twirling girl

But just in case  - have a wonderful christmas month everyone!

FELICES FIESTAS PATRIAS PERÚ! ¡

Today is Perus national day.

FELICES FIESTAS PATRIAS PERÚ! ¡    Deseamos a todo los peruanos del mundo un dia super.

Another proof that Norway is a sad excuse of a country

Once again i am reminded of something that a swedish minister once said; " Norway is the last Soviet state".  I lost my father to cancer about 2 weeks ago, but before he passed away we applied for a turist visa for a family member from Peru, so she could say her last goodbye. Today, after his passing she was told that "Norway did not want her" and as such she can not even come to pay her respect at my fathers grave.

The reason?  "
Where our and the local Schengen Cooperation's experience with specific groups and nationalities indicates that many fail to leave NonA/ay or the Schengen área upon expiration of their visas, it has become our practice to issue a visa oniy in exceptional cases. Probability of return is assessed individually, and importance is attached to both the emigration potential in the applicant's country of origin and to the individual factors regarding the applicant."

I feel ashamed that my passport says i am norwegian,  This is only the last of many cases were norwegian authorities overlook the human aspect and just treats people with racial motives.   It is time for you Mr Stoltenberg to take your coat and live politics behind.  Stop treating people like dirt, and make us proud of our country again.

Sunday the 28'th is another day that will always be with us..  This year marks the third year since Mishelle passed away and left for angel duty...   In other words, this is a very difficult weekend for the entire family and everyone else that got to know this amazing little warrior girl.  

Easter coming soon....

Having fun in Moss

Well, i admit i am not the most active blogger the world has ever seen..
So here is an quick update;  Melissa has turned 9 years and she had a disko party with friends to celebrate the day.
My father's cancer has made him tired, but the lastest MR photos gave us all hope that the chemotherapy is doing it's job. 

Birthday cake

 This winter has proven to be a long and cold one, yesterday it snowed AGAIN. I really need some spring tempertures now! Let's hope that easter will provide us with some sunny days!

More fun in Moss

Ready for school

Te extraño - Miss you!

 Our Margaret has been away from us for 9 months now, and hte chance of getting back here seem difficult. Norway is not a good country to live in if your're in love! Our incompente politicians does not care about the human right to be with the one you love and break international laws on a daily basis.    PERO - quiero que tu sabes Margis ;  nos ha hecho de menos aki - todos te extrañamos - todos aki te ama - yo mas de todo.

Happy new year everyone

2013 is coming

Christmas dinner

A small mountain of gifts

My M&M's

Christmas is over, and we survived 21/12/12  ;o)  In other words 2013 will soon be here with new challenges to face.  I hope all of you had a wonderful christmas!  We celebrated the holiday at my parents house - 13 people at the dinner table! 4 children and 9 adults, so as you can see in one of the photos - there were a "few" christmas gifts this year..

My hopes for the new year is that my father will prevail over his cancer, and that my girlfriend and i can once again live under the same roof!  I also look forward to reading a book where my beautiful Mishelle will have a small part of her story told.   Melissa will be 9 next year and is making her father proud EVERY day.
Zulema's husband to be will turn 40 and maybe there's a wedding this summer? ;o)   So 2013 looks to be an interesting year, let's hope its a good one ( as they say in the song..).  

Wishing all of you a VERY GOOD 2013!   Deseo a todos un feliz año nuevo - que todos sus deseos se cumple

Christmas is close

Christmas shopping inSweden

Christmas is closing in on us, and soon Santa Claus will bring smiles to many children alround the world.    Christmas is also for some of us a a time of mixed feelings, it is the time of year were we miss our loved ones the most. Going shopping for christmas gifts and not be able to buy my beautiful Mishelle gifts hurts just as much now as the first year.  This weekend many parents in Newtown, USA were also deprived of their children, just one week away form the holidays. My thoughts go out to each and every one around the world who has lost their child ♥ 


Thankfully i am blessed with Melissa - the most wonderful daughter anyone could ever ask for! This weekend she is with her mom and her family in the mountains celebrating an early christmas, but next weekend she and i will prepare for christmas here. A little decorating is in order i think  ;o)    Last tuesday we went to Sweden with her grandmother to do a little shopping and fortunately all out christmas gifts are now ready!  All that is missing is decorate the house so  it looks more "christmasy".....

Thursday the 13'th our beautiful Margaret celebrated her birthday in Lima. My biggest christmas wish is to be able to celebrate her next birthday together!!!!!   I think everyone here in Norway misses my Margis. Te extrañamos muchisimo Margis!! 
  
 From all of us - to all of U - have a wonderful week before christmas - don't stress to much, the holidays will come as always anyway  ;o)  







 

Autumn in Norway

At Melissa's school

 Well , its that time of year agian.  The leafs are falling off the trees and the rain the keeps falling. It's a beautiful time of the year, but also a sad one because this means that winter is close.  I am NOT a big a fan of the snow and cold as you might have guessed....
Melissa has started her activities after school and is attending an sports class and has entered a school band, so her week is filling up fast. Last monday her school also celebrated their 15'th birthday and the whole school celebrated by putting on a show for the parents as well as the mayor in Hobøl.
Last weekend i also became a "father" to Mavina Memina Coqeta Dahl Huaman! A little english Cocker Spaniel that Margaret bought to keep her company in Peru.  Mavina is the cutest little puppy you can imagine!   And she is house clean already!
Next weekend is a "busy" one.. In Peru Melissa's grandmother is celebrating her 50'th ( a year late...) and here in Oslo Storm Amaru will be celebrating his first        birthday with a big party.  And as if that is not enough party for one weekend - halloween is also being celebrated  - which means my nieceYadirha celebrated her 4'th birthday.  All in all a busy weekend coming up....

Happy Halloween to everyone - and FELIZ CUMPLE pa Zenobia y Storm y Yadirha

An amazing visit to Euro-Disney

Ready 2 enter Disneyland Paris

EuroDisney 20 years

Outside the hercules aircraft

Friday the 14'th the norwegian support organization for children with cancer and the Royal nowegian air force invited us to Paris & Disneyland Europe. We stayed at the Sequoia Lodge hotel just a 15 minute stroll away from the entrance to the park. There were children who had lost a sibling, children who had won the fight against cancer and children still batteling their disease. All eager to spend a weekend with Mickey and Donald and the rest of Disney's characters. 2 days in Disneyland and 1 day in Paris later - everyone was smiling and laughing, and had made new friendships. Melissa keeps talking about everything that she did there, remembering every little detail, every carousel she took and all the things she did with her newfound friends. 

Thank you SKB 
& the 335-squadron from the Royal Norwegian Air Force 

                                            You have given us memories to last a life-time!
