Nika, this is such a beautiful heart-felt tribute to your mother. Congratulations on a very well-deserved Poem Of The Day.

Thanks so much Richard for the kind words and well wishes! And you're right, luckily there's a number of ways to keep in touch even from the other side of the earth. P.S. so sorry for your loss.
Congratulations on the Poem of the Day, Nika. This is a touching and wonderful tribute to someone very special.

With new hopes and dreams, you are moving into another country and clime! Naturally you will miss your dear mother and your mother will miss you! Her missing will be definitely more as you are likely to be soon absorbed in many events that await you! Your mother on the other hand is in the same setting, but without you! A lovely tribute to your mother which I am sure will be greatly appreciated by her! Congratulations on this poem chosen as the poem of the day!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment Valsa. And you're right, I hadn't thought of it that way. It will probably be much harder for her than it will for me. In fact she's made me promise to call her three times a day! lol
You deserve everything you get you had all the gifts all along. Sorry it took SO many SO long to see it! I saw it in the beginning of our friendship. Glad to see you're doing well. E. Nigma.
