My liefste Sussie ❤️

My dearest Sister ❤️

As ek jou kon kies waar ek wou hê jy moes wees, sou dit altyd hier, naby my, gewees het. Maar die lewe het jou ver oor die oseaan geneem, na New Zealand, en al verstaan ek dat jy jou eie pad stap, is daar dae wat die verlange na jou net 'n bietjie harder druk.

If I could choose where I wanted you to be, it would always be here, near me. But life has taken you far across the ocean, to New Zealand, and although I understand that you are walking your own path, there are days when the longing for you just presses a little harder.

Daarom stuur ek vir jou 'n paar klein goedjies. Dalk lyk dit na gewone geskenkies, maar elkeen dra 'n stukkie van my hart saam met hom.

That's why I'm sending you a few small things. Perhaps they seem like ordinary gifts, but each one carries a piece of my heart with it.

👟 Die Tommy-tekkies

👟 The Tommy sneakers

Mag jy elke keer wanneer jy hierdie tekkies aantrek, onthou dat jy nooit alleen stap nie. Met elke tree wat jy in hierdie skoene gee, is ek in my hart reg langs jou. Al kan ek nie fisies saam met jou stap nie, stap my liefde, my gebede en my gedagtes altyd saam met jou. Waar jou voete jou ook al neem, is 'n stukkie van my by jou.

May you remember every time you put on these sneakers that you never walk alone. With every step you take in these shoes, I am in my heart right next to you. Even though I cannot physically walk with you, my love, my prayers, and my thoughts always walk with you. Wherever your feet may take you, a piece of me is with you.

🖊️ Die pen

🖊️ The pen

Hierdie pen is vir jou dae by die hospitaal. Mag dit jou herinner aan die verskil wat jy elke dag in ander mense se lewens maak. Jy het 'n hart van goud, en selfs wanneer jy dalk nie besef hoeveel jy beteken nie, is daar mense wie se lewens jy aanraak. Mag elke woord wat jy daarmee skryf, jou herinner aan die mooi mens wat jy is. Ek is ongelooflik trots op jou en die verskil wat jy maak.

This pen is for your days at the hospital. May it remind you of the difference you make in other people's lives every day. You have a heart of gold, and even when you may not realize how much you mean, there are people whose lives you touch. May every word you write with it remind you of the beautiful person you are. I am incredibly proud of you and the difference you make.

🎅 Die Kersvader om te verf

🎅 The Santa Claus to paint

Hierdie een is spesiaal vir Kersfees. Wanneer jy hom verf, moet jy onthou dat jy hierdie Kersfees nie alleen is nie. Al is ek nie fisies daar om saam met jou om die Kersboom te sit, te lag, te gesels en Kersfees te vier nie, is ek in my hart daar saam met jou. Maak hom mooi, want elke kleur moet jou herinner aan my liefde vir jou. Afstand kan ons dalk skei, maar dit kan nooit die liefde tussen twee susters wegneem nie.

This one is especially for Christmas. When you paint him, you must remember that you are not alone this Christmas. Even though I am not physically there to sit around the Christmas tree with you, to laugh, to chat, and to celebrate Christmas, I am in my heart there with you. Make him beautiful, because every color should remind you of my love for you. Distance may separate us, but it can never tak

My sussie,

My sister,

Ek wens ek kon jou net soms styf druk, saam met jou koffie drink, oor alles en nog wat gesels en sommer net tyd saam deurbring. Ek mis die klein dingetjies wat mens soms as vanselfsprekend aanvaar totdat daar 'n see tussen julle lê.

I wish I could just sometimes hug you tight, drink coffee with you, talk about everything and anything, and just spend time together. I miss the small things that one sometimes takes for granted until there is an ocean between you.

Onthou asseblief dat jy altyd iemand hier het. Iemand wat aan jou dink, vir jou bid, jou mis, jou ondersteun en jou onvoorwaardelik liefhet.

Please remember that you always have someone here. Someone who thinks of you, prays for you, misses you, supports you, and loves you unconditionally.

Maak nie saak hoe ver New Zealand van ons af is nie, jy sal altyd 'n belangrike deel van my hart wees.

No matter how far New Zealand is from us, you will always be an important part of my heart.

Ek mis jou meer as wat woorde ooit kan sê.

I miss you more than words can ever say.

Met al my liefde,

With all my love,

Jou Sussie ❤️

Your Sister ❤️
