To say that she was a good mother is an understatement. We all know the man he became, brilliant, talented, an accomplished musician, an artist who became a world traveler. His wry sense of humor helped him to cope with the many challenges he had to deal with in his later years. In all he was just a great human being. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAs his grandmother, I feared that growing up in a foreign country, known for its hostility toward people of color, he would feel isolated and eventually resented having felt abandoned by his family that looked like him. Although I did not express my feelings with Anna, I did request that she find a way to help him learn to speak English so that we could communicate with him when he grew older. I also urged her to find a way to help him visit his father and me in spite of the distance between us. Anna did more than agree, she met all of my requests and for years found creative ways to share him with us. Not only did she bring him to America when he was small, but allowed him to travel alone once he became old enough to visit his Dad who lived in the Pacific Northwest. This gave them both an opportunity to bond. Of course, Anna had help from her family and ours as she navigated this most difficult task. I found that I had underestimated the love and support that he received from his extended family, as well as the wonderful acceptance of me and my sons. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nI know the journey for both of them was not easy She had to make many sacrifices along the way. I know that she achieved some successes and helped Ulfur to achieve his. I now know that the enemy that Ulfur had to conquer was the disease that ravaged his body. The fact that he succeeded to accomplish so much in spite of it is a tribute to him and his mothers\u2019 relentless effort to secure the help he needed. I am in awe of her strength, love, and respect. May she rest in peace. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\nAll of my love.
