Carissimi Bambini,
chissa' se un giorno avrete la possibilita' di leggere questa lettera che vi scrivo indirizzandola a quelli che, da molto lontano, hanno seguito le vostre vite e pregato per voi.
Dearest Kids,
I wonder whether one day you’ll be able to read this letter I’m actually addressing to all those people who’s followed your stories and life and who’ve prayed for you all.
Ieri e' stato il mio ultimo giorno con voi nel villaggio dell'Arca e non e' stato facile. Per fare una sorpresa vi abbiamo portato tutti quanti ad un parco giochi in centro citta'... come vi siete divertiti vero?
It was my last day with you yesterday and it hadn't been easy at all. We had surprised you taking all of you to a Family park, and I know you've had a lot of fun.
Le giostre su cui salivate sembravano uscire da qualche film di fantascienza del secolo scorso... Sapete noi di altri paesi siamo abituati a giostre che vanno a velocita' pazzesche; per voi invece, quello che contava, sembrava essere la velocita' del cuore... cosi' contento di salire su quei seggiolini vecchi e arrugginiti che piano piano giravano.
The roller coasters looked to me like coming out from a science-fiction movie of the last century… You know in my country we are used to roller coasters that go really really fast; but yesterday I understood that the only thing that mattered was the speed of your heartbeat, so happy to go around on those old and slow and rusty roller coasters’ seats.
Qualcuno di voi, seppur quasi adulto, non sa ancora parlare... anzi questo non e' vero! Voi cosi' speciali avete imparato a parlare con gli occhi, capaci di penetrare chiunque li guardi. Voi che non sapete camminare da soli, avete imparato ad appoggiarvi agli altri senza sentirvi sminuiti, e voi che non conoscete l'affetto di una mamma o di un papa', avete non so come imparato ad amare come figli chiunque si avvicini a voi per darvi un po' d'affetto... e ieri eravamo tutti insieme a divertirci in quel piccolo parco.
Some of you, even if almost a grown-up, cannot talk… or actually, this is not true! You so special have learnt to speak with your eyes, able to penetrate anyone who’s looking at you. You who are not able to walk have learnt to lean on someone else, without feeling embarrassed; and you who have not known the love of a mother or a daddy, have learnt to love like sons and daughters of anyone who would come close and give you some warmth… we all did have fun together yesterday, all those differences made us so reach!
Purtroppo per me era l'ultimo giorno con voi, di nuovo la vita mi chiede di andare avanti e cosi' obbedisco, custodendo nel cuore tutto cio' che mi avete dato. Proprio ieri poi ho saputo che due di voi erano gia' stati portati in altri orfanotrofi e altri saranno trasferiti questo sabato... vi prego anche voi di custodire nel cuore l'affetto che avete imparato a dare e ricevere qui da noi. Ora entrerete in ambienti completamente diversi, prometto di starvi vicino con la preghiera, e' l'unica cosa che nessuno mi potra' mai togliere: e' l'apparente debolezza della croce.
Unfortunately it was my last day yesterday; life is asking me to go on and I obey, keeping in my heart everything you’ve given me, your smiles, your hugs, your sorrows… Even more, yesterday I’d been told that two of you had already been taken away by the government to a different place and some of you will be moved this coming Saturday, I do beg you that you too keep in your hearts the beautiful art of loving you’ve learnt with us. Now it’s time for you to get into totally different places… I promise you I’ll pray for you. Prayer will be the only thing that no one can take me away: it is the complicated weakness of the cross.
Dove andrete adesso il vostro cuore si vorra' irrigidire nuovamente, le mani degli adulti non saranno piu' per carezze, ma....
negli occhi degli adulti forse non vedrete quell'affetto che tutti noi abbiamo provato a darvi, ma...
per alcuni di voi anche il tempo che non scorrera' diventera' un vostro nemico perche' non ci sara' piu' nessuno a riempirlo con voi, per voi.
In the places where you are going now your heart will try to get hard again, the hands of the grown up won’t be for caddles, but…
in their eyes you won’t see the love and affections you’ve found in ours, but…
and for some of you the time itself will be the worst enemy, never passing, always there as you won’t be allowed to do anything at all and with no one to share it with.
Vorrei dirvi stringete i denti o i pugni, ma siete solo bambini... sarete bambini senza un punto d'affetto di riferimento... ma sappiate che nel mondo ci sono molto persone che vi sono vicine ed e' solo questa la consolazione che al momento sono in grado di darvi.
I’d like to tell you to keep looking forward and hope that one day all this will be just a bad dream… but you’re just kids. You have to know that all over the world there are people who are fighting to give you a better life and this is the only miserable consolation I can give you today.
Dio vi benedica!
God Bless you!
Fr.federico
Baiana, ma quanto ti sei divertita ieri...
Baiana you had so much fun yesterday...
Danis, sei gia' un adulto per come ti comporti, eppure cerchi sempre una mano da tenere...
Danis, you behave like a grown-up, yet you always search a hand to hold...
Un grazie speciale a Stefano, Romina, Giorgia e Valentina che dall'Italia sono venuti per trascorrere le loro vacanze con tutti i bambini.
A special thanks goes to Stefano, Romina, Giorgia e Valentina who've come from Italy spending their vacation with all those kids.
Arrivederci!
Goodbye!
PS: grazie per tutti questi regali
PS: and thank you for all these presents

Oh Freddie,
As the mother of two "special" ones I am weeping and praying for these precious ones. Bless you for sharing love unreservedly, joy wherever it erupted, patience throughout the visit. Their journey is so much harder without a loving mamma and pappa to cradle them and whisper how much they are loved. I have visited the "keeping places" in Ukraine -- they do their best ... it is all they have known ... my heart still breaks in prayer and supplication for the Hand of God to reach each one of these precious ones. If a cold cup of water be offered to the least of these ... And so you have, dear Freddie.
Emotions brim in my eyes as I write, and yet I praise God for your obedience. I await my next call. But for now I shall go kiss my beloved son once more tonight, and praise God that his brother rests with Jesus in Heaven where there is no handicapping condition -- Only LOVE abundant.
Bless you and thank you for the update. : )
Oh, how my heart aches with you this morning. I will be lifting you and these children up in prayer. God bless...
karen
... and you made your big sister cry...
I'll have them all if I could.
Beautiful, Freddie. I'm sure they'll never forget you. :'-(
I'm hoping this will bring you a little happiness and consolation, Br Freddie.
My son is backpacking in Egypt and at the moment he's in Alexandria. I got an email from him yesterday and he's travelling for a few days with a Kazakhstani - first one he has met on all his travels.
Hopefully the same sort of future and freedom awaits these lovely people whom you carry in your heart and in your prayers.
What a wonderful and touching letter. You and they have been blessed by your presence in their life. Bless you Fr. Freddie. I'm sure that you will find more children to love and take care of back in Italy.

This might be a bit off-topic but I believe there are a lot of smokers here on www.blogger.com. I have recently decided to find a good vendor of e-smokes. I'm done with paying so much for tobacco smokes.A friend recommended [url=http://www.insanereleases.info/greensmokef.html]G Smoke[/url] According to their website this is how they described their product:
"Green Smoke offers quality Electronic cigarettes with spendable cartridges that produce the highest smoke volume in the industry. With a collection of flavors and nicotine levels, Green Smoke's™ patented technology offers convenience and exhibit performance that is unmatched. G Smoke products have been independently tested for safety."
I'm thinking of buying them. Anyone else have experience with this e-cigarette?
Hi, as you may already found I'm recent here.
Hope to receive some help from you if I will have some quesitons.
Thanks in advance and good luck! :)

Survival group against God?? LOL. Good luck with that. Truth is, no one knows the exact time this will happen except the man upstairs, however, I firmly believe that there are people placed here by God that post the warning signs and it's up to you to take heed.

The French gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne has a wonderful aroma, a rich taste; the saltiness increases with the incidence of veining. The overall flavor is piquant but not overly sharp. Bleu d'Auvergne started life as an imitation of Roquefort, using cow's milk in place of sheep's milk. Legend has it that a peasant, around 1845, decided to inject his cheese with a blue mold that he found growing on his left-over bread (the motto being, waste not, want not). And thus, the gourmet cheese Bleu d'Auvergne was born. This French gourmet blue cheese comes from the region of Auvergne and the cheese is made from milk of Salers and Aubrac cows. The rind is very thin and so the cheese is usually wrapped in foil. The cheese is rich and creamy with a pale yellow color and scattered holes and well-defined greenish-blue veining. We cut and wrap this cheese in wedge of 8 ounces and 1 pound.
