It is now, when we have children, so difficult to come back home....first days are so sad, so unsure...we do not feel like home, we do not feel safe...first days are full of questions, doubts...is it really good that we are here, should we rather be there...it was never easy to leave Poland behind but now it is even more difficult. I want my children to be able to spend their time with their grandparents, cousins, aunts etc. But we are so far away...our life is here, not there...I know they all do understand it, but....it is just so difficult to arrive home...

the way home
It is now, when we have children, so difficult to come back home....first days are so sad, so unsure...we do not feel like home, we do not feel safe...first days are full of questions, doubts...is it really good that we are here, should we rather be there...it was never easy to leave Poland behind but now it is even more difficult.

Ich glaube, wenn man in einem anderen Land wohnt, wird es immer eine Umstellung sein, wieder in die "alte Heimat" zu kommen. Ich glaube, viel kann man den Kindern auch durch die Sprache, die Bücher und Lieder mitgeben von ihren Wurzeln. Unsere Kinder sehen die Verwandten in der Heimat meines Mannes höchstens ein Mal im Jahr und es ist nicht immer einfach dort - es prallen oft Welten aufeinander, wie man so schön sagt. Aber es gehört zu ihren Wurzeln, gehört zu unserer Familie, ist unsere Familie, deshalb machen wir uns jedes Jahr aufs Neue auf diese mühsame Reise.
