A kiss from God. I woke up the other morning and laid there still half asleep my eyes closed. I sensed my door being opened and my dad walking into the room. He often does to wake me up. I feel him step on my matrices which are on the floor and stand over me watching me though loving fatherly eyes. Then He bends over and gently kisses me on the cheek. A few seconds later my mum is at my door and tells me to wake up. Opening my eyes I am surprised to not see my dad in the room also. All day I think about that morning, wonder whether I was just in a weird sleep, wether I imagined it. I know I wasn’t asleep because when my mum came in the room she didn’t wake me up, I was already awake.
Praying that night in bed I suddenly realise what had happened. It was not my dad kissing me or my imagination or a dream, it was God who kissed me. Reaching up to touch the cheek that was kissed I smile and thank God for something so simple yet so beautiful.
We ordered five passports. Five! That is everyone’s passports done except mum. Her visa is complicated and confusing and the best way I can explain it is either we get a job and she can apply for the visa or we go anyway, her using her six month holiday visa, and get a job and in six months she comes back and applies. Either way we are going around the end of July. What excitement there is in this family! We have started looking at flights and even have our car up for sale. So everyone over there in the country of cold; Be prepared because this Irwin family are a'comn!
