I grew
up with a mystery family in far away Canada.
The
times we met, were far and between.
That
made that I fantasised about this wonderful family in this far away country.
When I
was old enough to remember who ye all were, I was jealous that I couldn't live
with you.
As
teenagers do (well, this one anyway) I sometimes dreamed of living with another
family ('the grass is always greener on the other side')
In my
head I picked ye as my second family:
because
I would have loved to have had a couple of lovely sisters (you always want what
you don't have)
because
you lived far away (see, even then I dreamed of travelling)
and
last but not least: because you all had the nicest mam (after my own of course)
Those
are childhood memories.
The
memories I have now, is that this family is made of very strong woman. I don't
have to tell the stories of what everybody went through, we all know more or
less, and look how we all dealt with it.
Tante
Paula, you are a very good example of a strong woman. You stand strong for
anything that life trows at you. I admire you for this, and salute your
bravery.
This
is a good time to put the spotlight on you, and celebrate your life and future.
As I
can't be there myself, I've 'sent' the best representative I could think of: my
mam! I'm sure she will give you a big hug for me.
Jan
and I want to wish you a very happy birthday, and hope that you have a
wonderful day with all your friends an family around you.
All
the best, and (hopefully): see you sometime?
Lots
of love, and a big hug.
Jasna
and Jan.
