Thankful I’m Here, Not There



I was walking through the nearby college grounds - photographing colourful trees…

Suddenly I heard the Canadian national anthem. A college soccer game was in progress…


I stopped to listen - thankful I was born here in Canada - not in the Ukraine, where my mother was born… 

Her family escaped when the Russian government, under Stalin, took their farmland. The situation there these days, unfortunately seems no better than it was when my mother's family left in 1928.
