Some of my mother’s accomplishments were, in 1980, she submitted one of her Loom Wall Hangings to the C.N.E. and won 1st prize in her category for the province of Ontario. Another accomplishment was, she took three (3) years of Spanish in night school and finished the program with Honours. Her other accomplishments are too numerous to mention.
During my mother’s youth, after finishing her high school in Estonia with many marks of excellence, she was considering a career on becoming a medical doctor, but had to leave the country because of the invasion of communism to her birth country of Estonia.
Upon entering Canada and after a few moves, my parents purchased a rundown farm in 1956 on Lakeshore Road, Niagara on the Lake. After twenty plus (20+) years of farming they turned the farm into a success story.
My mother is now sitting on a cloud, looking down with her dear husband Robi, and daughter Rita, who was an excellent peach packer, giving a thumbs up sign. Well Done!”
With gratitude we share this amazing story and hope all Estonians have a chance to visit this beautiful Labyrinth and contemplate back to their roots while touring the scenic town of Niagara on the Lake in Ontario.
