My mother was born in Pazin on this day in 1910. She got married to my father in Zagreb on December 13, 1936. And she died in Reading, Berkshire, on April 1, 2001. There. The key information about my mother’s life in one place. And where is that place? It is forever between my ears. The birthplace, the place of marriage, and the cemetery of so many people dear to me. As I have noted so many times before, this is where I am also becoming ever closer to my mother. Such dates were forever between her ears, as well. Between our ears, as it turns out.
