January 11, marks the date that my Angel Sister Mariet was still born... She would have been my older sister and my entire life I've wondered how she would have been like. In an earlier post of November 23, 2010, I did write about her Birthday and I will repeat it here:
By the end of the year I was walking on crutches...
On January 9 of this year (2010) I was in the hospital being almost totally paralyzed with very high fever that they couldn't knock down at first.
It was on January 11, that I cried in my hospital bed; on the birthday of my still born sister 'Mariet' who would have been almost 13 months older than I am.
I told her that I was NOT yet ready to see her in heaven...
A name is very special and I'm proud for adding something for an Angel I Know By Name; MY SISTER
After four days in the hospital they put me on Prednisone and the pain went away.
Again I could MOVE! What a joy.
Being diagnosed with a very rare auto immune disease, I was now on the mend!

For my sister Mariet, trying to live for her as well, I've added 'TE' behind my name.

That's the story behind my Zen Cart powered on line boutique: Mariette's Back to Basics.
Anyway, most people here in the US had difficulties pronouncing Mariet, so this works well.
They have chewed it out like Muwrit or Muwreet... A good example is: 1993 February 8 — Ma Hawkins Group in Dublin, Georgia ←click link for YouTube video

ReplyDeleteZo ging dat vroeger.
Lieve groetjes vanuit Limburg.
Dearest Mariette
ReplyDeleteYou probably never stop thinking about a sibling you never got to meet.
What a nice way to connect your names.
Really nice header you have now!
Hugs to you

Such a touching story.I am sure she watches over you, dearest Mariette, and you will be re-united one day.XXXX
ReplyDeleteThe name Mariet must have been very special to your mother, to name both daughters with the same name. I like that you added the 'te' on the end. Very happy that you are also in much better health now than you were back in 2010.
ReplyDeleteDeaerst Mariette,
ReplyDeletewhat a lovely post to remember your sister... she always will be in your heart!
Have wonderful weekend,
Love and hugs

Great blog! I like Angels :)
ReplyDeleteLieve Mariette,
ReplyDeleteSoms gebeuren er dingen in een mensenleven die te sterk aanwezig zijn om op toeval te berusten.Die elfde januari was er een onzichtbaar lijntje met jou gestorven zusje naar boven of naar beneden, maar voelbaar was het in elk geval.
Ook al heb jij je zusje helaas niet aan je zijde gehad in het leven,in je hart heeft ze altijd een dierbaar plekje.
Liefs,
Ger
Dearest Mariette,
ReplyDeleteI believe that your sister is always having life with you and she must be the very angel beside you♡♡♡ How would it be to have a sister... haha, my dream which never come true.
Your comment for me last Oct, when we had wedding anniversary; "Happy, happy coral anniversary to both of you!! You had a very special celebration with fire works and a delicious lunch with only gourmet food. How blessed you both are to celebrate this in good health." Reminds me that how well you must know the importance of health!

Our Angels really are a blessing .... to know one of the Angels watching over you and walking by your side is a beloved sibling is priceless. You have shared with me that Mariet(te) is in loving honor of your Angel sister and I could think no better way to show your love for her. As you know we do not have to known our Angels to respect and love them (I know this through .. the blessing of Angel P in my life). Sending you hugs and blessings on this most special day... xo C.

ReplyDeleteLiebe Mariette,
ReplyDeleteja, ich kann mich erinnern, dass du diese Geschichte schon erzählt hast - sie ist sehr rührend und schön! Ich kann gut verstehen, dass du dich immer gefragt hast, wie deine Schwester wohl gewesen wäre - dasselbe fragte ich mich immer bei der Mutter meiner Schwester, die ich nie kennergelernt habe, weil sie mit 16 Jahren im 2. Weltkrieg getötet wurde. Ich hätte gern eine Tante gehabt. Man hat mir zur Erinnerung ihren Namen gegeben.
Herzliche Grüße, Traude
Such a sad story Mariette, but a beautiful tribute to your sister.
DeleteWishing you and Pieter a lovely weekend!
