Just Believe...
My Mom (Omi) Inge Petersen, Vranesic was probably one of the most cherished people I know in my life,aside from my Dad(Dido). She was always thinking of others before herself. Her days began with Nivea cream on face and robe and slippers adorned and into the kitchen to create wonderful breakfasts for all before anything else. From eggs and toast to apple walnut oatmeal we loved it all. I guess because it came with a heavy helping of love on top.
We never lacked for any basic essentials in life my brother Mark and I. We were gifted with the most wonderful parents ever. Dad an incredible artist,designer, thinker ,creater of almost any idea possible...and Mom his better half beside him encouraging him in all his ideas and ventures.
They truly were 2 peas in a pod. Perfect for each other and with each other. It didn't matter if in a grocery store or restaurant when they looked at each other in a loving gaze they melted and kissed and usually got smiles or happy nodes back from those around them. They would even begin dancing arm in arm without a care for who was around them.
Mom not only held down so many jobs from a secretary at York University in cancer research to volunteering at the PTA meetings locally. She was always putting family first and work before herself.
When my 3 children came one at a time onto the scene she scooped them up Did and she and dotted all available time into teaching them everything from manors to music,computers ,history,science just about everything and anything they could.
Omi ,Mom was always up for an adventure be it to the local strawberry patch for everything from strawberries,blueberries,raspberries anything the kids and she could see to games and songs. Never a dull moment. In the fall we all went apple picking and made homemade apple pies and tarts till we had no room to freeze anything else. And never a lack of taste testers from Uncle Markie to Dido ,Mike or the kids themselves of course.
Now no summer was lost to a lack of adventure when Omi was around. We were always taking off to Ontario place to see all the wonders and waterfront to feed the ducks and geese.As well as play for hours in The Children's Village.
Or the Science Centre to learn a thing or two Or be wowed at the Museum with all the ancient artifacts to discover and be fascinated by. And of course Omi always treated the children to a visit into the souvenier shop to find something to cherish and take home.
In reguards to manners Mom instilled not only in Mark and I but the kids too the best of manors.Be kind and polite ,honest and true. Just and humble too. I believe she truly believed in God as well. One of her friends Brother Gabriel had me convinced of it. Without pushing her into anything either. I think she learned that one should always have hope ,for hope would see us through all trials of life.I learned that as long as you had faith the size of a mustard seed .....it could grow. You could heal and be saved with God's help.That is what I learned. And Mom and Dad always gave both Mark and I room to grow and learn of our own desire. I held strong to my Catholic beliefs and that faith the size of a mustard seed could grow. I told Mom that often.
My tiny little mustard seed ...well....I protected it with my life. I said please God guide me ...teach me your words and strengthen me daily. Many days I would struggle with life's ups and downs but without fail my Mom was always available day or night to talk me through my troubles.
She gave effortlessly to all and never wanted in return. I would be lost without all the input she has given me over the years. Thank you Mom from the bottom of my heart.
In all I have learned and gone through through out all my years my Mom has been a pillar of strength in words and actions for me. She has helped me though many a bad times and good ones as well.
I am truly greatful for all she has taught me. If it was not for the goodness and kindness of both my Mom and Dad I don't know where I would be. I know that Dad has finally reunited himself with Mom up in Heaven. As I believe that God will take care of both of them,always.And as a dear friend and nurse of mom's Marsha so kindly told me...she said Dad was in heaven all these years creating many new paintings so that when Mom finally arrived she would be happy to go arm in arm with Dad and admire them all.What a beautiful idea. Thank you Marsha.
I love you Mom and Dad. I miss you both with all my heart. I feel empty without you here but I do believe you are looking over all of us from Heaven. Perhaps you will say hello to Mike and his side of the family and visit with Dad's (mom and dad )and your (mom and dad) often now too.
Thank you for all you do for me Mom, I love you unconditionally. Always and forever. may you rest in peace knowing we all think of you daily. God Bless you and keep you safe. Love always and forever, your daughter,
Kim ( Kimbim-KimKam...Suzanne...Vranesic as you often told me with a smile) I love you a bushel and a peck...a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck...a barrel and a heap and your so sweat. God be with you always Mom
Love, Kim
