:) i love my mom. <3 i haven't seen my mom in twenty years, :( i have sent her the invitation to visit me, last time around we exchanged visits when she came to see me in Toronto over twenty years ago and then i visited her in Moscow. 

However, since last time my mom got divorced after twenty two years of marriage, i got a beautiful half sister as a result, and now the Canadian visa office in Moscow has refused my mom visitors visa claiming that because she is divorced she might want to stay here with me, and that i could not support her here, due to being an artist in Toronto. 

God only knows what would happen if mother is reunited with her children! All Hell might break lose. I think there got to be some UN stipulations about the close family right to be together, such as mother and her children. 

Not that it was easy to make an invitation to begin with, then go through the process of application and waiting for an answer, only to come short of heartbreaking expectations, with the raison d'être for refusal is guilty of being poor single mother.

Sad & Shame. :( Strange world indeed. i guess i can fly to Moscow, or Berlin, will see.
