Depressed

/in

Lua is around 15-16 here, dancing with a Bahá’í group. Her mother would let her visit me in Moscow, because she was depressed and under the care of a psychologist. Of course, I was locked out of any care of my daughter, and nobody involved me in any decisions or..Read More

Daniel Paul

/in

Lua was married to Daniel Paul Ahrendt. He was 5 years older than her. To my knowledge they started dating when she was 15 or 16 y.o., meaning that she was a minor and he was an adult. I lived in another country and Lua’s mother never discussed Daniel Paul..Read More

This is after the funeral of my mother. We are at the house of Leah, the first wife of my brother. In Lua’s arms is her half-sister Marta.  I remember well the behaviour of Ralph, my mother’s second husband. He was sincerely and honestly moved by her death, and expressed..Read More

Arnhem

/in

During school holidays Lua would visit the Netherlands between 1992 and 1998. I don’t remember how many times. This is perhaps one of the first visits, because this is located in the first apartment I rented. The Netherlands is known as an ideal place for raising children.

Garner

Before leaving NC State and North Carolina to pioneer in Sri Lanka, we bought a house in Garner. I did this so that, anytime we wanted to spend time in the states, we would have a place to stay. We decided to rent it to a Bahá’í friend, Warren Rochelle,..Read More

Malaysia was one of the most active Bahá’í communities in south Asia. The community is a mixture of ethnic Chinese, Indians, and Malays. It was a pleasure to meet them, and be with them. It was important to me that my children met people from different cultures and countries, to..Read More

Bahjí Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh

/in

It is the responsibility of every sincere Bahá’í to visit this spot at least once during their lifetime. Whatever happens in their lives, I hope this visit will have an impact on their soul. We of course all said prayers. “Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect,..Read More
