Anniversary of Mom's passing


It's been 9 years, and believe it or not, this year has been easier.
Maybe it's the passage of time, I'm sure that's part of it, but I also believe our time in India has a lot to do with it.

Women here do not have an easy life; oppression, beatings, even burnings. Mom's life started under the dark cloud of war, but she had good people looking out for her and it soon turned for the better. So in this environment of female oppression, I can only look back at Mom's life as a good one and be grateful.

Thank you VannaMamma, VannaPapa, Marta and Liise
Thank you Gunilla and the Peterson family (Christols too!)
Thank you Captain John F. Stallwitz
And thank you to all her friends and family that helped contribute to her wonderful life.

Love you.
