Mom

About a week after my last blog post, my mother died.  She had cancer.

I don't have any eloquent words about cancer and what it means or doesn't mean.  I only have faith that my mother is with God, looking out for her children and grandchildren as she did while she was on earth.

We miss her.

    I have enjoyed reading your blog for quite awhile. I'm very, very sorry to hear about your mom. There is no easy way to bear the loss of a beloved mother

    Masha, I've been thinking of you lately. Here and there thoughts about you pop into my head and I send a prayer for you and your mom. I am so very sorry. I really cannot even imagine what you are going through right now.

    Eloquence is what we need when we want to connect ideas or seek to reframe a situation. Clarity and faith are what is most important when trying to live through life and death. When a person has no other words, hanging on to God says it all.

    Hi Masha, I so hope that you have continued to find some sort of peace in the loss of your mother. I am quite certain that she continues to watch over her. I bet you are so much like her in many ways. Hugs to you and yours.

    How I love the photo above! Please forgive this public condolence here ...

    John and I were very sad to read your post above, and my heart is breaking! I thought your Mom would go on "forever", playing games with her grandchildren in her kitchen into her old age :) She was such a giving person: my mind immediately goes back to Moscow 1985 when we arrived and she and your family took us under their wing and showed us how to "cope" -- I'll never forget it. We ran around to shops, the rynoks, and more. Julia of course went to detsky sad with Kcensia, thanks in part to your Mom getting the whole ball rolling on that. (We won't talk about how long it TOOK for us to get the paperwork done, LOL) She was a very special person, and I know you, your siblings, and your father will miss her very much. Maryjo and John Ordway
