These pictures were not taken on my last day in Namibia. It was Monday, my last day in Ojtiwarango and I was not to leave Kalkfeld until Wednesday and Namibia on Friday. But it was the last day for my dear little camera- a wonderful gift from Linda and Gordon that lasted almost exactly one year before the lens got bent. But thankfully it lasted until this awesome day to take these amazing pictures. Bye little camera!
This is Auntie Lokie with her Great Nephew! Born on Friday night he is only 2 1/2 days old.
A big boy, 4.2 kg and very long! With wonderful long and curly hair. It is VERY soft.
This him with his very proud and ecstatic Daddy Heino and beautiful and gentle soul Mommy Desiree.
Here he is with family together- on left is his Om (Uncle Gavin).
And here he is with Pastor who was thrilled, honored and privileged to be invited by Daddy Heino, at Mommy Desiree's request/insistence, to offer to them his second name.
Welcome to the world beautiful, handsome, smart, loving, caring, compassionate and engaging Maximus Barrett Garas!
By the gift of that name I pray that you will always feel that you were loved before you were born by me, and that is how God loves all of us! Know that you not only have a big, loving extended family in Namibia, but family in the USA, and Barretts all over the world!
May that help you always feel your connection to God, the whole of creation and humanity- you are a child of God and of the whole world!
I am so grateful to have met you and I cannot wait to watch you grow and learn.
Amen, Thanks be to God, and Blessed Be!
