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.

 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)
