83 years young.
Celebrations all through the day.
Terje and I went there right after work. Together with mamma´s three siblings and a few others.
Uncle John is 86.
Aunt Solbjørg Serine 85
Mamma 83
Aunt Oddrun 79.
They are all alive, all living in Trondheim.
During our meal together pappa challenged the four siblings, John, Solbjørg, Marta/mamma and Oddrun to share tales from their childhood.
What a gang!
I know I would have LOVED to know them during the 30ies, and the 40ies, continuing through the 50ies.........and from 1958 I am part of their shared history.
Family life.
What a blessing!
For her 83rd birthday my mother had rehearsed a new piano piece.
A waltz she used to play more than 60 years ago.
Her fingers danced over the keys.
My heart watzed with the music.
