Good morning today it's Mothersday and we are preparing to go towards our mother who lives in a nursing home. My mother of 85 years and has been living for some years time in a nursing home for old people. It was her own request and she love it there. Although she preferred a 3 bedroom appartment she's still quite satisfied with her two-room appartement. What is very emotional , is that she is one of the last 1st generation Moluccan in the Moluccan district in Almelo. So a blog post about her can out of respect and honor.
Once she told us that she always liked the song from Shirley Temple and sang it always when she was young. The title of the song is On the Goodship Lollipop. She sang it for us but was almost forgotten the half of the number of course but she still knows the tune. The song was released in 1934.
I'm a Moluccan descent and grew up with Moluccan and Indonesian songs (ballads, gospel, soul, funk, etc.). Especially for the first generation Moluccan Mother's who still live in the Netherlands. Upon request, I can give the translation.
Naruwe is a boyband from the Moluccas and to be exact in the village where my mother originally came from ... Ouw . A village that lies next to the village of my father's village Ullath. Cuma ale sandiri actually means ... Only you !
One of the favorite songs of my mother we ever sung for her as family during a church service for her on her 85th birthday .
Also one of the favorite songs of my mother. A gospel about when you are looking for peace, there is only one person that you can searching for and visit.
Lisaboli kaka lisa is the old name of the village where my mother originated came from, namely Ouw. They wrote a song about the village and is also considered the national anthem

6. Al Green - God is standing by
This number reminds me on the moments that we sung together with our mother on for example New Years Eve. She loved it.

8. God van Trouw
The last song is a Dutch gospelsong which we often have listen with our mother and sing along with her. She was cheerful and tapped only with her hands on the beat of the music. The meaning of this song is that even when you're in trouble there is always a God who is faithfulness.
Now we're going to enjoy a sunny Mother's Day and I hope you will too. Enjoy life as it only takes a moment .
