Hello, MG here.
This will be a slightly different post devoted to a person who deserves all the words in the whole world.
DISCLAIMER: This article will most likely be no fun to read and will make your thoughts roam around topics people don’t usually like to dig in.
It’s been quite a tough time for us and my close ones, as we recently lost one of the greatest people ever lived on Earth.
Today we mark 40 days since we lost Her.
To the woman who was a Mother to all of us. Even the ones who were not in blood related to her or her family.
To Her, who taught us everything important about life.
To Her, who looked after and taught three generations of kids.
To Her, who showed us how to be decent human beings.
To Her, who knew everything and everyone.
To Her, without whom none of us would be who we are today.
To Her, who taught us how to cook, how to clean and keep clean, how to tidy up and keep tidy. How to pair our socks, how to iron our clothes, how to look like a decent human being, how to build manners and use them properly.
To Her, who taught us how to stand up for ourselves, how to be tough when needed (although she was as gentle as a flower), how to be gentle with people. How to respect others and gain respect. How important it is to be educated in our world nowadays but even more importantly – how to be a good person. How to be a hard worker. How to be patient and how to set up boundaries. How to drink alcohol with limits. How to cope when you have lost your limits. How to perceive other people even if you don’t want to do so. How to deal with the bad situations in life. How to cheat without being a cheater. How to gain personal benefits without harming others. How to be good to others. How to provoke the system and how to obey the law. How to be good at school without being “the teacher’s favourite”. How to run and play with others but have your own thoughts and feelings. How validating yourself is just as important as validating others.
She taught us how to tell stories, as well as how to create them while we are still young. How to respect and appreciate our youth. How to make strawberry (and peach, and pear and berries, and…) jam. How to cook chicken soup. The importance of good, real ingredients and the respect towards food. Respect towards animals and plants, towards everything living.
How important it is to keep clean. For the body, soul and mind. How much we need to be strong, smart, conscious, creative and active while still in our age. To use every second we have, every grasp of air. To enjoy ourselves and lives while we still have it at its fullest.
Today we celebrate Her life which was rich and full of different experiences. We’ve never been wealthy people but she was rich having a full house with kids and grandkids, many friends around, journeys to different countries and every single person she knew respected her and everyone knew and will always remember her as the amazing person she was!
Rest in peace.
We all love you and you will always be a part of us.
