What does Thank you mean? A word from the wife


It is difficult for me to articulate how truly Thankful I am, Pirika and Martha are, we are as a family are for the all of the love, support, baking, house moving, garden moving, kai delivery, koha, hugs, massage and healing that have been given to Jacky (and us as a whanau) through this journey to date. Thank you for just being there/here with us. For laughing and crying with us, for grieving and for rejoicing with us, for taking the time out of your own lives to dedicate yourselves to us - we are eternally indebted.
Honestly - there are no words that could express the heart felt, soul felt gratitude we have - for you all... our friends, our whanau and our soul mates. I could name you all - but you know who you are, and we love you for it, more than we did before it.
Thank you means more than any words, in this instance that I know of.
However - from the deepest and most sincere part of my being.. THANK YOU, all.
It is our pleasure to have you accompany the Sinclair-Phillips whanau on this hikoi. It will no doubt be a journey that is both full on with steep crevice and also sprinkled with peaceful relaxed valleys of contentment... more of the later we feel as we journey towards the great north "Te Ika A Maui" and to places that have already provided more healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels than the hospital in its stark comparison could ever dream of. Hospitals are places where you "get things done" they are not healing centres - a sad piece of reality in our western culture, and in this day and age, they have their uses and inside them are some truly gorgeous caring individuals. Our deepest Thanks must go out to those people as well. The charge nurse and her staff at ward 14 are incredible women - we love you and will never forget your professional gentle care.
That's me for today. We are busy getting ready for the hikoi, there are lists and lists of lists.. it is a big thing taking your two children on the road for 30 days.. let alone the extra luggage my dear wife has that are an essential part of her healing.
A last Thank you for the healing energy that is flooding Jackys being, coming from you all - keep it coming - please. It makes a difference, it truly does.
Warmest love,
The wife.
