As Free As Being Alive - Part 2

January 19th, 2018



Moved all stuff from van to house.

The house is now full of plastic bags full of our stuff. I see no problem with that and plan to deal with one by one.

As we arrived home very late, I prepare a quick dinner for children and then send them to their beds.

But I can’t sleep.

We moved to this house and 40 foxes visit my mind. The population in the house is 44 now.

Curtains, washing machine, beds, lamps, and more…

Kata can’t come next morning as she has a flight, so she sent her friend we prayed in the Church together, Pekka. Pekka will take me to the shopping center and bring me back when I am done. Tuula came with curtains. I saw those two for the second time. I left children to Tuula and went to the shopping center with Pekka.

I buy a few of important things and meet with Pekka at the time we agreed.

We do housework with Tuula until 4pm. I receive a text message says ‘’My name is Suvi, a friend of Kata. I will come with 3 lambs tomorrow at 7pm.’’

Another sms from Titi. ‘’I will bring carpet at 5pm.’’ She writes.

Who are Suvi and Titi? I don’t know…

Tuula leaves and Titi comes. Knoc knock knock. A woman with a very pale skin in her 70s stands with a homemade cake wrapped with a gift paper. I get astonished. She points her car’s trunk. She says I can take what I want to from the trunk. I need only carpet, so I take two of carpets and return home. She didn’t come inside as her husband was waiting in the car. I take her word to visit me later and say them goodbye.


Their punctuality surprises me.

Turks in the neighbourhood call and ask if I need anything. I say I don’t…

Because the friendships built in this small town decreases the needs.

I remember the words of and officer when I first came here: Words are the law in this country. None of the citizens would lie to you.

These people, with Islam’s basic characteristics, deserve all of the blessings.


And the Rahman of Rahim treats them with their trustworthiness…
