Mother’s Day Tribute: Nataliya Shevchuk
Several AJT readers express their gratitude and love for the most important women in their lives.
My Mama is a beautiful woman, inside and out. As an immigrant from Ukraine in the 1990s, she brought her family to America and completely started over. This gave me and my children the opportunity to live freely as Jewish people and celebrate our heritage. With the devastating war in Ukraine and the recent events in Israel, we feel even more blessed to have all our loved ones safely here with us. This is thanks to the sacrifice made by my Mama. Besides her unfathomable strength, my Mama has the biggest heart. She is a giver all the way through. She remembers every little thing, brings homemade food and flowers to anyone who is in need of extra care, and dotes on all of us tirelessly. She is my inspiration for how to be a capital M Mother. A Mother not just to me but to the whole community. I love you so much, Mamochka!
