Still missing you Mom, even after 50 years. I can’t help thinking of all the things you missed – all the things you never possessed. You never had many material possessions but that never bothered you. You were so happy with what you had, and you were so proud to be an American citizen. You loved your home and appreciated everything you had, especially your garden in the back yard. How beautiful your flowers were! You also got to know and enjoy a beautiful granddaughter that you loved more than anything. Wish you could have known your two grandsons too, as well as your great-granddaughter – but it was not to be. It happened so fast. You became ill and bravely faced all the surgeries and treatments you had to go through – and then you were gone. But your memory will never die, it lives on in the hearts of all who knew you. Love you, Mom
