May 19 Day of remembrance of the Pontian Greek Genocide.
A pencil drawing of The Eagle of Pontus, symbol of Pontic Greeks (Greeks of Pontus) with the eagle facing west towards Constantinople..
“To the world you are a mother, but to your family, you are the world.”
“My dear child, the day you notice that I am old - and I am afraid it will not be long - be patient and try to understand... Maybe my years are over. Wrinkles may have scratched my face...
But neither my heart lost its tenderness, nor my eyes their kindness. From the first moment I was by your side and I was waiting for your arrival with unspeakable longing!
And when the miracle happened, the heavens opened from my happiness and my joy was indescribable! In the past years I was by your side with the love you deserved and the tenderness you need! But time is relentless and the changes on us are visible. So if I sometimes get dirty while eating or if I have difficulty getting dressed, show understanding...
Remember how patiently I spent endless hours helping you!
When we talk, if I repeat the same things two or three times do not misunderstand me. Listen to me.
When you were a small child I had to tell you the same story many times until you fell asleep. When I do not want to take a shower do not get angry. Remember the thousands of excuses you found in order to convince me not to bathe you...
When you notice my ignorance about the new technology, give me the necessary time to adapt and do not look at me with a playful smile. When we talk and I forget something, give me time to remember it. And if I can not do not be upset. The most important thing is not the conversation itself but the joy of being together and talking! I taught you so many things! Eat right... Dress properly... Face life with courage...
When I do not want to eat do not push me. I know very well when I should and when I should not.
And when my tired legs do not allow me to walk do not be upset. It's natural!
Give me your hand to hold on. I did the same when you took your first steps. Ι know that my age does not allow me to be as active as I would like. However, I manage to survive.
One day you will understand what I mean... One day you will realize that despite my mistakes, I always wanted the best for you. And I tried with all my might to prepare your way!
Give me your hand and help me finish my journey with patience, love and peace.
And I will repay you with a smile and the immense love I have inside me for you.
I love you... Your mum”
