Hello and best wishes for 2009. This year started sadly for us. My elder brother died suddenly on January 3 last. We therefore do not return to Paris for September as planned, we stayed with my mother until the funeral which took place last Friday. Meanwhile, Julius has been hospitalized in Bordeaux because of pneumonia and I accompanied him to the hospital a few days. He was discharged Sunday but he still recovering from my mother one more week.
I'm back on Sunday evening in Paris with Orpheus. At the last moment, I asked Emma again, because we had to make another apartment Monday and I had no idea where to go. Emmanuelle accepted without reluctant to host us again. We went directly home. After lying Orpheus, I went to get our business to the apartment where we were before the holidays. I have everything together in several bags and I put some in a corner. I did not have accumulated as much business in one month, I could move everything at once. Do not have an apartment is increasingly hard to manage effectively. I can not stand to make a bag, even for a holiday is beyond me ... I really should be a pro bag! We must ensure at all times to keep only the bare necessities. So I took the biggest, and I returned the next morning to finish everything and move back the keys. We will stay at Emma for a while, I'll try to find another solution soon. The next weekend, she received her sister and nephews. It offers us still remain, but I prefer him to free space for it to receive his family quietly. I do not know yet where we will go but I think a friend who lives in Pantin, who suggested we need to receive. We'll see.
So the news ... We left in the everyday and we try to stand. At the end of the month, it will be one year since we homeless. Leaving our apartment in January 2008, obviously I did not think it would last that long. It's a strange life that we still over a year. It's hard sometimes to never be able to land.
However it happened something incredible that I want to tell you even if nothing is done formally. Our problem could be solved more quickly than I imagined.
Someone decided to help us. Her name is Camille. I do not know her, she contacted me after reading the article in Le Monde last November. I received lots of messages at this time and it was lost among the others. A month later I finally find him and I answered it.
Camille was first suggested we take an apartment she owns in the 16th. It was a very generous proposal, but it was difficult at first to live as far away from both the nursery and school which are north of Paris, and my work is in the south suburbs. I had to spend 3 or 4 hours per day in transportation, and I do not know if I'd had the strength. It was a feasible solution from the summer because then I would have changed the children's schools and enroll them in this neighborhood.
Finally we encountered was, and she then made another proposal even more generous: she wants to buy an apartment in our neighborhood for us to rent at modest prices.
I must say that I never imagined that such things were possible! The whole story finally have me much reassured about the goodness of some people. We're currently looking for an apartment to buy in the neighborhood. This should take some time before we finally moved, but it puts hope in all my actions.
