We were saddened that our very old friend died.\u00a0 But we are also really impressed that till the end, to her last breath, &#8220;Swithart&#8221; still didn&#8217;t want to burden anybody else&#8230;neither her kids nor her relatives and friends. Everything was set and prepared for already. Her family just needed to contact the funeral parlor and that was it. No more hustle and discussions. Typical of her. Swithart left behind 11 kids, perhaps a couple of dozens of grandchildren. Now she is at rest at the age of 78. I think I wrote something about her here in my blog some years ago. I salute her. Everything she went through for her to be able to raise 11 children on her own. She never stopped loving, dancing, eating, laughing and simply enjoying her life. No worries, no dull moments. And that is from a person who could hardly read nor write. I sooo miss you &#8220;Swithart&#8221;. Wherever your soul maybe, I know that your are happy.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #808080;\"><em><strong>You embraced your life in our world&#8230;now Go and Cherish YOUR Peace with our Lord!<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>We had a good time reminiscing about &#8220;Swithart&#8221;&#8230;our time with her together going to places, eating at home, giving each other advices, support and massages! \ud83d\ude42 It was a time of grieving but also a time of Thanksgiving. Among the group present for the Prayer meeting, only the three of us who came, knew and lived with &#8220;Swithart&#8221; before. The others were mostly friends of the daughter of &#8220;Swithart&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>On the way home with two other friends, we walked pass the Famous Frankfurter &#8220;Alte Oper&#8221;. Not one of us had a camera so we had to make do with our phone cams&#8230;the photo result is not so good, but the memory will stay with us&#8230; hehehe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203338-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2722\" alt=\"20131206_203338 (2)\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203338-2-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203742.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2724\" alt=\"20131206_203742\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203742-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203332.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2723\" alt=\"20131206_203332\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hannahlou.de\/tweethumbsup\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/20131206_203332-150x150.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are there somewhere in the picture&#8230; we just can&#8217;t see ourselves&#8212;hahaha!!!<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"background-color: #c0c0c0; color: #ffcc99;\"><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Some days are just as good as any other.
