and here is video number two of the "Layers of time (finding Mom) " project

it took me a while to decide that my videos do not necessarily have to be chronologically, or otherwise, ordered ...
It is ok to just make what I feel is right at that moment, a thing that is difficult enough to realize.
Two idea are at the origin of this short segment: the paralyzing request my Mom made hours before she died: "don´t be sad, Anne" ... and a letter my uncle gave me, a letter my mother wrote to her parents from Paris in 1959, during her first year at university.

Paris has always been a really important place to my mom, and we went there quite often, I always thought that I would live there one day as well, something that never happened. Apart from having studied there, we often visited "tante Jeanne", Jeanne Lemaire, who lived in a buburb, easily accessible with the RER. "Tante Jeanne" was of course neither mine, nor my mothers aunt, but somehow related to us nevertheless .... around three corners... or four.
I admired Jeanne for her travelling around the world ... she went "everywhere" and we got great slide shows everytime we went to visit ... and she often brought me nice and interesting presents.
