For the Love of Mom

Here is a photo of my Mother Elvira and my Dad Eriks. And a poem I wrote remembering my Mom. Your life was like a mosaic, pieced together bit by bit, as life dealt you a bitter blow, because you had to leave your homeland - for parts unknown. Yet you persevered, Found love and began life anew, It was not all easy But you made it seem to be Even though war separated you from your mom You managed to be reunited with her I was too little to understand Why you cried the day she died Cause i had been told Grandma had gone to Heaven And I thought that was good I wasn’t but ten When life hit you again We lost dad and you lost your greatest love My best friend, my greatest treasure It wasn’t always fun and games But we managed to see it through You and I hand in hand I love to remember the good times And put the bad aside Up there in Heaven so far I know you'er swinging on a star You’ve got dad by your side And i miss you so You took that highway to Heaven so many long years ago but to me it just seems like yesterday When I last saw you Your brown eyes twinkling I see you laughing and dancing And loving this world with me So I send you loving wishes And kisses to the sky above Knowing you’ll forever be in my loving memories. Happy Mother's Day in Heaven!

I feel like this poem is just a glimpse into your soul and into the sweet memories that you have of your mother, father and grandmother. I am joyful for knowing you, you are a resilient lady full of memories of love and another land. Thank you for sharing this.

@Juliaacv thank you. The one truly amazing thing about my parents was that during the time of the Iron Curtain they actually got my mother's mother to come and live with us, I guess old ladies did not bother the USSR
