She (A poem for a woman celebrating her 99 years today! 🎊🎉)
Note: April 1 is special for us. Yes, it’s April fools day. That’s why she always said no one believes her when she says “today is my birthday”.
Mor Sofie
…She…
She carried me inside her for nine
Even when I keep making trouble
She
I grew up thinking of her as a superwoman
She can do the impossible and fix
Yet I now see that she’s small and fragile
She’s grown old and
Dedicated to Mor Sofie, my mother-in-law who made me feel like her true daughter. Her life and death story when she gave birth to my husband inspired me a lot. She’s a brave woman who risked her life instead of choosing to make her son come out in pieces. Thank you. You give birth to the father of my son and made it possible for me to be the happiest mom. I wish you more years to live.
PS: Mor is Norwegian for “mother” it’s what I call her.

Magdilang anghel ka sana Drew! It’s a Filipino idiom hoping that you get an angel’s tongue. Haha 😀 Funny to directly translate it, I know, but it basically means that I hope your best wishes come true 🙂 Thank you for your warm words.

Jessica
Thanks Huguetta <3 It's just too sad that she hears so bad we could barely talk to her now and much more read my poem :( But she is a great woman.

She’s old now, all you can do is just being there for her, nothing to do with this circle of life ❤️
Jessica
True. Nothing much we can do that make the rest of her life memorable as much as we can 🙂
