In June 1952, my oma and opa, with 9 of their 10 children, came to Canada, on their own dime. Settling first, in northern Alberta, before moving to southern Ontario. Speaking very little English, with their Dutch language. <br /><br />Oma, was the one, which the grandchildren ran to, when we hurt ourselves or need that emotional support, which our parents couldn't give. It'll be 33 years, this June, my oma left this mortal plane. Taken from us, by cancer that consumed her, less than a year, after it started.Therisa's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14158009488213815860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-91497445361415809942019-05-13T07:47:53.492-07:002019-05-13T07:47:53.492-07:00Sherry, this is beautiful.

When he got sick, he did express to me what he felt, and I think he loved me and forgave me for not being his birth Mother. She was a child, only 13, it is understandable she had to give him up. I wish I could say it was all smooth sailing, still we loved him as our own, couldn't have loved another more. I hope it was that way for you, Rob.annell4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07629830133868270690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-24127119192902908172019-05-12T11:14:10.784-07:002019-05-12T11:14:10.784-07:00Ok, Sherry, today this is my favorite!!!

What I know of those homes in the "old days" is that young teen moms were not allowed to keep their babies, the babies were removed from them, if family was not supportive (and few of them were in the days when "what the neighbours think" meant too much). I am sure it must have been very painful for her too, and she likely carried the pain lifelong, as you do. It is hard to not know one's lineage. Somewhere back there, there must have been a writer, though - that much we can assume. Smiles. Thank you for sharing your story, Rob. I hope the connections you have made in your life have helped, over time, to ease that inner ache.Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01926508656571639801noreply@blogger.com
