Dearest Ely,
I am deeply grieved by your mother's death - a woman who loved her Lord and loved her family and loved prayer!
Yes, you are at the correct address with me. I am Elisabeth Wyss and
remember the day very well, when your mother, father and sister came to
my house in Santa Cruz. I don't remember if they actually stayed with me
at that point (which they have done at other times) or if they stayed
somewhere else and came to join me to receive you.
It was so much fun to see your sister - anxious to see her new
sister.... Since I had a car, we drove to the place where you stayed
with another family. All those details behind you stay there escape me.
However, I had had telephone contact with the woman of the household and
she told me the address and we went there. I don't remember neither
names nor address, somewhere in the surroundings of Santa Cruz.
We got there and you (just a few days or weeks maybe old) wee
introduced to your family. Your sister wanted to play with you - but
that was a little early Your father took you in his arms and ..... the rest I don't remember.
Yes there was something about papers and signatures but that all escapes
me. The woman who was looking after you had it all in her hands. We
then parted - oh I guess that your parents did live with me, I remember
you crying at night..... But that really was only for a few days because
your parents really were on their way to a place in Chiquitanoland. A
few days later you all left by SAM plane. There was overweight of stuff
to go along in the plane (which was nothing unusual....) and
unfortunately some boxes with milk for you was left behind unknowingly
to everyone..... Your parents found that out a few days into their stay
in Chiquitanoland. I received a desperate call from them and I went out
to the hangar to find the boxes with milk among the other things left
behind. All was well and your parents were able to stay - your father
was training "sanitarios" and your mother now was a mother with two
little ones .... Your parents were brave people!!! I always admired
them!
This is all I can say, I don't know if you helps any way. Sorry I cannot
recall any of the names of the family you had been with. I don't even
know how long you did stay with them, I only remember two or three calls
before we went to meet you. Now, that I write about it, I think I was
not even supposed to know the name of the family who had you in their
home. The signing of the papers were done in a different room which I
did not have access to.
I do hope you will be able to find out more about your biological mother
and thus find real deep peace in your heart. God had given you good
parents!
Greetings to your dad, if he remembers me.....
Love to you,
Elisabeth
