Answer:
Mother’s Day is approaching.
My mom is simple on the outside, and complicated on the inside.
I always think if my mother and I were the same age, our paths would not cross because we are so different.
But, there is a lesson to be learned from family members who are different from us. After all, we choose our friends, but not our family. We are stuck with them, so let’s make the best of the journey.
I admire her independence and her resilience to some major forced changes she encountered. Tragedies can either destroy you, or make you stronger.
My mom has survived a lot of tragedies. You would expect her to be bitter and hostile towards others, but she is the total opposite: It seemed the more tragedies she experienced, the more loving and understanding she became.
I don’t know where she gets this strength from. Is it talent? Faith? Love? Her family? Or are all mothers genuinely stronger?
Tell me a little bit about your childhood life in your Greek village
“My mother died from a field-mine when she worked on our farm during the Second World War. I was two years old. My father never re-married because he loved her too much. I was the youngest and the only girl among three strict brothers and because of this I was over-protected. As I grew older, it felt stifling. It was also lonely because when I had girl problems I had to seek help on my own either from an aunt or a female neighbor. Back then we didn’t have phones, TV, or internet. We had to find out information from real people, people we had to trust. Luckily I left when I was 13 years old.”
In your opinion, how different was it living as a child in a village in the 1940s than it is living as a child in the city today?
