Our angel was  born on  Thursday, April 13, 1999, precisely at 18.20 Jakarta time. The birth took place at RSB YPK, Jl. Gereja Theresia No. 22, Jakarta and it  was assisted by Prof. Gulardi H. Wiknjosastro.  It was an unforgettable moment for Bapak & Ibu; the moment that cute little face was put on Ibu's chest and Bapak read the "Adzan" in her ears. She is God's greatest gift of life.
Amanda & Ibu stayed in the hospital for 2 nights and they both arrived home on Thursday afternoon, April 15, 1999. That beautiful and cozy house of Ibu's grandparents, witness how  days turn into months, and the sleepless nights later on becoming endless baby talks and "running" sessions.
our little angel,
Amanda

My hands are small, please don't expect perfection;
my legs are short, please slow down so I can keep up with you

My eyes have not seen the world as you have, please let me explore safely;
don't restrict me unnecessarily

Housework will always be there, I'm only litttle for a short time.
Please take time to explain about this wonderful world to me,
and do so willingly

My feelings are tender, please be sensitive to my needs

I am a special gift from God. Please treasure me as God intended you to do;
holding me accountable for my actions, giving me guidelines to live by
and disciplining me in a loving manner

I need your encouragement to grow. Please go easy on critizising
and remember that you can critizise the things I do
instead of critizise me for who I am

Please give me the freedom to make decisions.
Allow me to make mistakes so I can learn from them

Please pray  together and teach me how to do so
I love learning more about God.
