My Family

My Mother, Marianne and Janine Ottawa, Canada during one Sisters’ Week

Every year, my sisters and mother come to my house and we celebrate “Sisters’ Week.” It’s seven days of the four of us celebrating the relationship we have with each other.

Every year, I learn what I’m not and get to celebrate the strengths of the three women I admire most in the world.

First, Mom:
She’s supportive, generous and has never been one to show favoritism. She celebrates each of our strengths. Whenever I’m faced with a decision, I ask, “What would my mother do.”
For those of you who know Vera, you understand she is an empathetic rock.

Second, Marianne:
There is nothing artistic this woman cannot do. Ukrainian Easter eggs? Exquisite doesn’t come close to definining them. Photography? I told her she should sell them. They rival Nat Geo. Painting and card making? No one equals her.
I have to watch that jealousy doesn’t consume me everytime she posts something on facebook.

Third, Janine:
There is no great or more tender mother in the world. Six kids call her Mom. Each of them is nurtured. Each loved for who they are–and she’d be the first to say, they are unique and sometimes difficult because of their individuality. She works long hours to provide for them. At home, she makes sure they have what they need. She’s my baby sister–and sometimes I wish I had the privilege of being her mother.
