ndani kyema, My Story - Ray Moore 115
With each of the children, I used to hold them when they were first born and say over
and over to them as they snuggled in my arms “I love you. And remember, whatever
happens, I will always love you, no matter what.” There was no way that we would
ever send them away to boarding school if I could help it, even if we followed my
parents into overseas missionary work. This was my family and I intended to be as
responsible for them as I could possibly be.
And that has always remained a strong part of my family philosophy even though we
both know that we have failed the children in some ways, it was not for want of trying.
We continue to be proud of our beautiful family.
Michael married Louise and
they have a lovely daughter,
Jessica and two boys, Brent
and Scot. Scot was born
with a chromosomal
abnormality and is
handicapped in some ways,
but the family has
surrounded him with love
and he and his brother and sister give us a lot of joy.
Carolynne married Simon and they
have had four children, Brad has
inherited some of his father’s
artistic talents and is working in the
area of graphic arts. Ben is an IT
expert and should do well in the
field when he breaks into it soon.
Stephanie is the girl who, together
with her mum helps to keep a balance in the family. And Nick is the youngest and is
a constant pleasure and surprise to all of us with his quick mind and musical talent.
Andrew, who for some reason since his high
school days is called Fred, married Karina.
They now have four beautiful children. Crystal
is the eldest with Angus following after her.
Both have done well at school and shown lots
of talent in other ways also. After a bit of a
break they then had Sascha and finally Nate
arrived. Karina gave birth to each of the
children at home with Fred’s help (supervised
by a midwife) and as the family grew, they were
all present at the next birth.
