Ua hakakā ʻo Ingeborga Mackintosh no ʻehā mau makahiki no ke kuleana e hānai i kēia keiki ponoʻī. Ua hoʻokō wau i kaʻu pahuhopu, hānai i kahi kāne. A laila ua kau ka pilikia iā ia.
Ua koho kēia wahine i kahi hopena ʻē nona iho. Ua hoʻolaʻa ʻo Ingeborga i kona ola holoʻokoʻa i ka hānai ʻana i nā keiki me ka ʻole o nā mākua. ʻO kekahi mea e like me ke kahu ʻoihana. Akā ʻaʻole nā kānaka āpau nā ʻano ʻoihana pono: kahi hohonu o ke ahonui, kahi puʻuwai nui, aloha aloha nui ʻole. Ua mālama ʻo Ingeborga i nā keiki he 120 tausani a ʻoi. ʻAʻole āpau i ka manawa hoʻokahi, ʻoiaʻiʻo. Ua hānai ʻo ia i nā mea āpau, aloha i nā mea āpau. Akā ua lilo kekahi o nā keiki, ʻo Ioredane, i mea kūikawā no ka wahine.
“He aloha ia i ka maka mua. I ka manawa aʻu i lawe ai iā ia i loko o koʻu mau lima no ka manawa mua, a maopopo koke iaʻu: ʻo kaʻu pēpē kēia, kaʻu keiki ", - ʻO Ingeborg.
Akā, ʻoiai he kūlana maikaʻi loa ko ka wahine i nā luna kiaʻi, ʻaʻole hāʻawi ʻia ʻo Ioredane iā ia. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua makemake nā mākua olaola o ke keikikāne iā ia e hānai ʻia e kekahi ʻohana ʻApelika ʻAmelika, a i ʻole ʻo ka mea ʻino loa, e kahi ʻohana hui. Ua ʻimi lākou i kahi ʻohana pēlā no ʻehā mau makahiki. Loaʻa 'ole. ʻO ia wale nō ka manawa i hāʻawi ʻia ai ʻo Ioredane iā Ingeborg.
I kēia manawa ua ʻelemakule ke kāne, e 30 mau ana kona makahiki. Akā ʻaʻole poina iā ia e pili ana i ka wahine i pani i kona makuahine. Lawe ʻia nā makahiki he nui, ua hoʻomaka ʻo Ingeborga i nā pilikia olakino. Ua ʻike ʻia ʻo ia me ka maʻi polycystic kidney. Nui loa ka maʻi. Pono ʻo Ingeborg i kahi transplant kidney. ʻO ka maʻamau maʻamau he mau mahina ke kali no kahi mea hāʻawi. Akā i ka manawa koke ua haʻi ʻia ka wahine ua loaʻa kahi kūpono nona! Ua kūleʻa ka hana. I koʻu ala ʻana, ʻo ka mea mua a Ingeborg i ʻike ai ʻo kāna keiki hānai ʻo Jordan - e ʻaʻahu ʻia i ke kapa komo haukapila, e noho ana ʻo ia ma kona ʻaoʻao. ʻO ia ka mea nāna i hāʻawi i kāna puʻupaʻa i kāna makuahine hānai.
"ʻAʻole wau i noʻonoʻo no kekona. Ua hala nā hoʻokolohua no ka hoʻohālikelike, haʻi ʻia wau ua kūpono wau, - wahi a Ioredane. "ʻO ia ka mea liʻiliʻi loa i hiki iaʻu ke hana no koʻu makuahine e hōʻike i koʻu mahalo nui iā ia. Ua hoʻopakele ʻo ia iaʻu, pono wau e hoʻopakele iā ia. Lana koʻu manaʻo hiki iaʻu ke hana hou i ka wā e hiki mai ana. “
Ma ke ala, ua hoʻokō ʻia ka hana ma ka pō o ka lā o Māmā. Ua lilo ʻo Ioredane i hana maoli i kahi makana pipiʻi loa.
"ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke makemake i keiki kāne maikaʻi aʻe," wahi a Ingeborga. A paʻakikī e hōʻole aku iā ia. ʻOiai, i waena o nā pili koko, he kakaikahi ka poʻe hiki i kēlā mau mōhai.
