“Between us it happened all:
And happiness, and sadness,
And long talks at evening fall…”
Happy Birthday, my only beloved Mom,
To-day’s talk I am engaged in from far away from you, from Canada, Happy Birthday to you, Mommy!
First of all, I wish you happiness, love and all the best!
Secondly, I would like to say how much you mean for me. Mommy, you always were, are and will be my guiding star for me in my life…
I know that your life was never easy for you, you had to come through lots of sufferings and troubles because of me… Forgive me, if I sometimes was a reason of them and I was hurting you…
I congratulate you on your Birthday wishing you beauty, charm, health and family well-being. I wish everything to be good in our family…
Hugging, kissing you,
Yours Liza! Listen to your favorite song: Comme toi
And here are your favorite verses:
“Between us it happened all: 
And happiness, and sadness,
Long talks at evening fall,
The main thing of no gladness:
We’ve been separated by life,
By hazy days’ river, stream throng,
A sensation was still in glide:
Not for ever, not for very long…
You’ve disappeared – light,
Went out inside my soul,
I am the only one, is right,
A separation was not your goal.”
Veroniica Tushnova, 1969 (Translated from Russian by Valentina F. Pattison, June 2010)
