My Mother - God rest her soul - had a cousin. Her name is Weronika and she lives in Bartoszyce in North East Poland. When my mother passed away 9October 27, 2006 at the age of 90 and 24 days) I called my aunt Weronika and told her about it. I also told her that I would be in Poland in the spring of 2007. She told me that I have to come and see her and I told her that she needs to look after herself so we can meet. She said: “if you want me to promise that I will not die I am promising you”. We both stuck to our ends of this bargain. I came to visit her and her husband on June 5th and they both greeted me being in a very good shape. We spent lovely day together, she really took to Limin. While there we met (after probably 30 years) my cousin Wanda.
We didn’t have enough time at all. We spent few hours in the afternoon and that was it. I used to go and spent summers with them, this few hours was not much and yet…….better than nothing. I hope next time I will have more time with them. I have to make sure that next time shall happen soon.
It was very hard to say goodbye
