አብዬ እናታችን

የቅኖች ምሳሌ፣ ደጓ እናታችን
ያረግሸልን ሁሉ ሳለ በአምእሯችን፣
ውለታሸን ሳንከፍል ደርሶ የልባችን፣
መሔድሸን ሰንሰማ አዘነ ልባችን!
ለወትሮው ደርባባ ውቧ መላክ መሣይ፣
ዛሬ ግን ቸኮልሸ ወይ አምላክሸን ልታይ፣
አብዬ እናታችን አጉራሸ መካሪያችን፣
ትዝታሸ አይጠፋም ከቶ ከልባችን፣
በሰላም እንደሔድሸ ከማይቀርበት፣
ነፍሰሸን ዘላለም ያኑረው በገነት!

Abiye was a rock and a soft spot all at the same time. Even when we mess up she would respond with humor and her heart Warming “gursha” (her genfo was a killer).

When I left home, I asked Abiye to check on my mom, she did so regularly until my mom joined us in the US.

I am forever grateful to have been touched by her love and kindness. I’ll miss her dearly, but she will remain in my heart forever.

Rest In Peace Abiye

Abeye, I don’t even know where to start from childhood till I got married and having children  she was rock of my life. My story can’t be written in such short message but just to share her impact in my life….  her voice is always a song in my ear no matter what.  she is always energetic, Abeye taught me how to cook step by step even how to hold the cooking stick “she always used to say this is not how you hold it”  I want to you to be “ BALEMUYA ENDATASEDBIN” now I thank her every day for the rest of my life when I go in my kitchen and start cooking. My wedding was remarkable because of her,  after I have my daughter she use to come and visit me and take care of Redeate.  I have not been back to Ethiopia for the past 24 years every time my husband go to Ethiopia and visit her she used to ask him “ when is KURICHA” coming? Every time I call and talk to her that’s her question to me, I wish I have gotten a chance to see her one more time this will be something I regret for the rest of my life. I hope God will give me the strength to get through this feeling. Now When I think about going to Ethiopia I feel like there is No home to go to. The last time I talk to her was when she was on her way to the airport to Dubai for treatment even though she was sick she was asking me that why is my voice is changed? At the time I had Covid she was worried about me & telling me that I need to take care of myself never complain about her pain as she always say “ GETA YEMESGEN DEHNA NEGNE”  It must be Gods time to take you to your forever home what I know is you are not in pain anymore you will always be in my heart I never forget your smile your generosity, your giving hand …….  you may rest in peace I love you forever.❤

Her Life

Our Beloved Mother

September 9, 2021
by Meaza M
Sara Getachew  was born to her late father Ato Getachew Woldegebriel and her late mother Woizero Elisabeth Abebe in 1942 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She attended junior and high school at Etege Menen Girls School.

She worked at Berhan and Selam Printing Press where she served as a devoted secretarial employee for many years. Because of her sociable and kind nature, she was loved and respected by co-workers.

She met and married the late Colonel Meshesha Woldetsadik in 1959 with whom she enjoyed a long and blessed marriage, until he preceded her in death in 2002. They were blessed with four children.

Abiye (አብዬ) as she was called by all, was loving, caring, kind hearted, and a strong mother not only to her own children but to many. Her home was always open to everyone. She welcomed friends and family with warmth and kindness. She had a sense of humor which made everyone around her feel at ease and free to get close to her.

Our dear mother Sara passed away in Addis Ababa on September 5, 2021 after a brief illness. She was a devoted wife, a loving mother, a doting grandmother, a dependable friend, and a loving sister. She will be missed dearly by all. May God comfort all who are mourning her loss.

My Beautiful Mother In Law

September 10, 2021
My lasting memories of Abiye are simple: a passionate figure of love and strength, whose support and love of her family and friends would never diminish, even when times were tough. I wish we could have done for you, as much as you did for us. How blessed I am and how fortunate I’ve been. That you are my Mother in Law.

One of my fondest memories of Abiye, is when she would let Meaziye sneak out of the house on Saturday afternoons so I could take her out somewhere, usually to “Peacock” for amacchiato. Meshiye would have surely kicked my butt and chased me away, if he had caught me sniffing around their house. After all she was his precious 21 year old little daughter.

Abiyeye thank for being the most loving and caring Mother In Law a man can ever ask for. Your kind and giving soul will dearly be missed, but the resonance of your comforting laughter will keep us going. I will love you forever.

A Loving Mother

September 10, 2021
by T Addis
Abiyiye was a loving, funny mother to all. I have been blessed with her loving kindness and have so many treasured memories. 
After HS, we used to go hang out at their place  or meet up there for outings. Abiye would always welcome us with her warm smile and feed us with 'gursha' all the time. There was always 'quanta' hanging in the back kitchen and we used to indulge in them w/o asking permission and Meaza would say, "Ere quantawen cheresut," and Abiye always responds, "Deg aderegu, yiblu." 
And some days, we would solicite for her car so we can go hang out at Bole Road. We would be pleading with her promising we will get back early and put gas in the car (which never happend). She finally  gives in and sends us out jokingly telling us, "መጥኔ እናንተን የሚያገባ፥ መልክ የላችሁ ፀባይ የላችሁ፥ ቆማችሁ ነው የምትቀሩት". 
I saw her for a brief moment when I went back home 4yrs ago and she gave me the same warm reception. 
As hard as her passing is hard to fathom,  these treasured memories will carry us thru her loss. 
I pray for her loving memories with God's grace to bring comfort to all the family and friends
Abiyiye, you will always be in my heart. I love you

Motherly Instinct

September 10, 2021
by L G
One time, when I was walking alone from school to home, two guys from my neighborhood stopped me and started hassling me, pulling my bag and pushing me to intimidate me. At that same moment, my friend’s mom, Etiye Sara, was driving by, and seeing that I had a Nazareth School uniform on, she stopped her car which made the guys stop. God must have sent her.  She offered me a ride to my home. She didn’t even know I was her daughter’s classmate. She just gave me a sign to get in the car and asked where I’m going? She happened to pass by my house everyday, which I knew but she didn’t. Because the incident was too shocking for me I didn’t say much, just a soft thank you and got off the car when we got home.

Needless to say I was very disturbed by the incident and I told my mom about the unfortunate encounter crying. My mom managed to hunt down and find out where both boys lived and told their parents. After few days, both boys came to our house and apologized.

The protective instincts of two mothers saved me. I never got to thank Etiye Sara in person but I’ve always treasured the encounter in my heart. I just knew she was someone special who knew how to help someone in need of rescue without making a big scene, as calmly as possible. I have told the story many times before but now I know it is more meaningful than ever.

May her kind and caring soul Rest In Peace.
