“I’m your biggest fan.”

That’s what my son Obera often says to me, who wrote the foreword for my book “ICH, DU, WIR & VIELFALT” with joy.

“I want to do great,” he said. His written words blew me away, I was speechless – printed as well as submitted.

It is so wonderful to receive such great support.

It’s so great that he says them out loud over and over again.

The sparkle in his eyes when I talk about milestones, such as when I recently told them that my book was printed for the very first time in Nairobi, are enormously palpable and contagious.

It’s incredible. I had no expectations (why should I?); However, I am always touched to experience such unconditional support.

Obera and his sister Amora are both very happy to accompany me to book readings or lectures – if the school schedule allows it. It’s an honor. My mother’s heart opens.

When both of them tell me afterwards “You were mega great mom” – I am indescribably happy and moved that they listen very attentively and that I reach them differently than usual at home.

An enormous source of strength.

What unconditional support do you receive in your everyday life?

Today it’s hashtag#Fußballspielen with Obera – deposit into the emotional bank account. Wish me luck (I always 😊 lose, I don’t understand).
