.fd joadf fo mom! This is a toast to you, Mom. To you, little lady, for the sacrifice of your life, so that your son might live and get every opportunity to develop into something for which he was created. To you, little lady, who had the misfortune of being involved in one of the most tragic periods in history. As infamous and as unforgettable as this period was, you managed to survive with your son, through great strength and endurance. I need not mention the period and where it occurred, for it will remain in our memory for a long time to come. You risked your life to safeguard mine, you went hungry so that I might eat, you worked CGod only knows how hardy to support me, and despite all the hardships and obstacles, you were able to carry out these tasks successfully. Then we sailed across the Atlantic, seeking freedom and a new and better way of life. You sought freedom, a word whose meaning you doubted. You sought a decent life, to which any good human is entitled, particularly you, who did so much to deserve a life befitting a queen. The land was new to you, the peoples' customs and ideas seemed strange, and yet you adapted your- self so well that others find it hard to believe. You immediately began to work. How hard it was to work under uncomfortable conditions, in stuffy factories, with temperature and humidity above normal! Yet, despite the disadvantages, you went on to success. It was difficult to find a decent place to live, 'but you succeeded in moving from a poor place to better apartments. You had to have courage and a great deal of will power to have done so many tasks. Besides the many responsibilities, you went to night school, so that you might get a better job. You went through the course smoothly, and received your various diplomas without any of the expected difficulties. So here is a toast to you, Mom, for who could have done so many things so successfully? You worked at every possible opportunity to raise our standard of living, and to get all the things that the more fortunate were able to acquire sooner. If I were to say how grateful I am and how much I appreciate what you have done, I would be making an understatement. For it is difficult to find words to express my feelings for your great efforts. You, Mom, have succeeded in providing me with everything that a fellow in any family would want. Maybe sons of millionaires are provided with more, financially, but who gets the really wonderful and affectionate motherly love that I get? I get very emotional think- ing how much you have done and how little you have been rewarded. It is a strange feeling I get. It cannot be expressed, it is mixed with a feeling of hatred toward those who caused the loss and sorrow in our family. A toast to you, little lady, for you have done and are doing an unex- pected job. I know that your hope is that I should become someone that you can be proud of. Believe me, Mom, I will do everything in my power not to disappoint you. I worry many times and hope that I can make you feel proud of me, so that your struggle shall not have been in vain. You have accomplished all this and much more all by yourself, single- handed, and under great pressure. Your burden would have been less, had it not been for that tragic period that so affected our family. But I won't write on this any more, for it might bring tears of sorrow to your eyes. So this is a toast to you, a toast of appreciation! Clem Neustein 5'l
