This Travel Bug was launched in memory of my daughter Calypso Paikea Rhyder who was born on June 14, 2007 and died on July 7, 2007. She was 23 days old. She died of complications of prematurity. If you would like you can view her webpage below
Calypso's Site
If you could PLEASE log this bug when you find it and help it along to a new location I would be so appreciative.
In Memory of Calypso:
E kore te aroha (My love will never
e maroke i te rā, be dried by the sun,
Mākūkū tonu i It will be forever moistened
aku roimata e. by my tears.)
"The death of a baby is like a stone cast into the stillness of a quiet pool;
the concentric ripples of despair sweep out in all directions,
affecting many, many people."
--De Frain, 1991
On September 14, 2013 - I requested a replacement TB be released by EXMAN from facebook. You can see his page at facebook HERE.
On April 2015 - The original was found after the replacement was lost. The TB will be on the move again soon!
On June 12, 2016 - It is almost Calypso's 9th birthday (June 14) On August 20th this TB will be 6 years old and still chugging along. Please if you find it don't keep it and help us keep it on it's journey. I would love any photos of Ko Paikea that you might take!
