RE: My Mom Is Awesome - WomanPower Contest Entry
Just -finally- read it!
Well yeah, she seems amazing indeed!!! [and you look SO much alike!!! <3 ]
Mom + doctor + volunteer applause ;)
Even though I don't see why moving to a new country in your 30s is hard. I did it - it was more than fine [and actually right after my trip to Israel where I turned 30!!! <3 ] Unless we're talking specifically under those circumstances - then, clearly yes - I can't even begin to imagine the struggle!!!
I think I look more like her as the years go by. I used to look way more like my dad.
Now, as to emigrating from the USSR, there are a few factors. One was that it was, in a way, an escape. But there's also the factor of it happening in 1971. With no internet, without knowing almost anyone here, no way to prepare for the move in any real sense. The world was much bigger, then.
For sure, that I get. Nothing is the same now, in any way...
And now, you look exactly like her!!! <3 <3 <3
