Oh, she CRIED and CRIED and CRIED and CRIED.
Mom was totally unprepared and really didn`t have a clue. I first gave her a
greeting card I made myself and my brother printed it on a beautiful and expensive paper. In it was a print of the painting from your web site. She was really happy and besides that there was couple hundred crowns. This money was for a frame, but of course she didn`t understand that...
Then I told her to wait a moment and ran to get the package as I went towards her, she starred at me and understood right away as she saw the size of the package. She bursted into tears, didn`t even take the package at first.
She was REALLY HAPPY and than she wanted to phone and thank all people who helped buy the painting (grandmother, grandfather, my brother, my dad, her sister & brother)and she didn`t even have time to say "hi, it`s Carin" before she bursted into tears again. So I had to take over the phone all the time =)
She tried to call you yesterday but you weren`t at home, only your son. But on the other hand she probably wouldn`t be able to talk anyway =) =) =)
Chiquita meant so VERY MUCH TO HER, on a way that no other dog could ever do. She was saying all evening: "she is alive, she is alive! Do you see her eyes? She is really alive!" when she looked at the painting.
This couldn`t be better, I promise you. I have almost never seen my mother this emotional and I think it even came as a shock to her.
Thank you DEAR KATJA for a really wonderful painting. There are many of us who are lyrical over this you have to belive =)
Kind Regards,
Carro, her daughter |
