Mormor. If I could just turn back time, I would come and sit at your table. I would share a Swedish fika with you and I would listen to your heart. It was so beautiful. Mormor, my very own dearest grandmother. You loved your maker more than anyone I have ever met. Your heart was so full of love. You bled for the things that mattered, and you never let that bleeding dissuade you. You had so much love to give, so much that you let it bleed generously. Mormor. I miss you more than words can say.
Mamma. If you only knew what I would give for another chat in my father’s bed next to you. If you only knew what I would pay for one moment with you again. You fought so bravely. Your heart was so pure. You gave life your all. You paid every price. And never blamed your maker. You had faults, but you stood through them. You had battles, but you rose to them. You always put the good of others first. You inspired us all. You worked harder than any person I have ever met. And you bled with pain.
My heart breaks missing you. My heart breaks needing you. My heart breaks knowing I can only carry your legacy forward; yet I must wait years until meet you again.
My heart breaks.
It breaks.
And it breaks again.
For love, there is no remidy.

You had two wonderful women in your life, Esther. It is sad that they are no longer with you on this earth, but I think they still guide your everyday thoughts and beliefs. Love can be bittersweet, but if we never experienced it, life would be meaningless. So, I agree with Barb. Your mother and grandmother have given you much of themselves, and because love gives so much, it is its own remedy.
Oh Esther. I cannot image what you’ve gone through and can only offer my sympathy. But your words speak true and shows how much your integrity and passion shines through. If there could only be more people like you in the world. My greatest sympathy goes to you. You can always rely on me for a shoulder to lean on.
I know it is hard but what great memories and gifts they shared with you. I see a resemblance between you and your grandmother.
What touching words -
Thanks again for sharing such personal feelings with us -
They make all of us think and treasure -
What a touching post - it radiates love.
It’s so obvious that the love of these two wonderful women are still within you. You will carry them along through life to share with others. Bless you Esther.
It is so hard to lose loved ones, isn’t it? Every day, I still think of my husband and I feel cheated out of our future together. Cherish your memories with your Mamma and Mormor. I dread the day of my Mother’s passing and I know she cannot live forever.
This is a sweet sweet post. Nice pic.
It’s obvious where you get your beauty, love, comassion, intelligence and ability to work hard from, Esther. You are carrying on these two women’s wonderful legacy. Bless you my friend. Warmest (((hugs))) Jo
I’m sorry your heart feels broken. Even when people live on in our memories it’s not as wonderful as having them with us, but I agree with everyone’s comments here, your are carrying on an amazing legacy.
Esther, så vackert skrivet. Jag känner med dig. Har ju träffat både din mamma och mormor, men kanske din mormor mest i församlingen. Och jag vill säga att hon är en av dem som gjort starkast intryck på mig där under min barndom. Att få se Vivi ställa sig upp och be med den hängivenhet som var karaktäristisk hade varit underbart. Jag ser framemot att få göra det en dag.
På samma sätt är din mammas och pappas vision, gudstro och arbete fantastiskt och inspirerande. Liksom ditt. Tänker på Josef och hans familj också.
Kram till dig Esther!
Oh Esther, this made me cry. I really feel your pain through your words of grief and sadness. Your mother and grandmother have left you a wonderful legacy of strength, courage and faith.
You do your Mormor proud, dear Esther. By your work, your spirit, your love for the world, you honor her. That is her legacy, as it was your mother’s, and as it will be yours.
Bless you, sweet girl.
Du skriver så vackert, Esther. Känner med dig!
Such amazing women you had in your life. It is no wonder you are so passionate. You do them proud.
