Pikkewyn

Daniel loved to sleep with his nose in the air, head back and mouth open and I think that was the reason why we started to call him our little Pikkewyn (Afrikaans for penguin).

It was one of the many special, unique things that Daniel did, constantly warming our hearts with his lovely presence and personality…..

There is also a special penguin song that I made up for Daniel. It is in Afrikaans (our first language) and he could never get enough of me singing it to him.

His entire being would show his joy and his enjoyment when he heard the familiar words came jingling from my heart...

Pikkewyn pikkewyn
Jou lieflike ding
Dis vir jou
Dis vir jou
Dis vir jou wat ek sing...

Hallo Aly!

Pikkewyn is tog te pragtig! Ek sal van nou af altyd aan Danny dink as ek 'n pikkewyntjie sien.

Lief jou baie!
