A Personal Eulogy for Christos’ Mom I’ve enjoyed countless meals at the Sourligas household over the last 25 years – mostly during the decade that I lived in Montreal. I fondly remember those days of heading into Park-Ex hungry with anticipation for authentic Greek comfort food. She was like a second mum to me. In fact, the entire family adopted me around their dinner table. I remember climbing those apartment stairs following the intensifying waft of dinner, the pre-plating sounds of clanging pots and cutlery. I was always greeted at the top of the stairs by her big smile, a whispered “Ti Kaneis?” and a gentle peck on each cheek while she held my hands, looked into my eyes, and knew instantly what kind of day I was having. We couldn’t communicate verbally, but she always had a way seeing right through me and of making me feel better about things. Once the scrumptious family-style spread was served, she would always hover quietly over her diners, sometimes engaging in our lively hilarious banter. She rarely sat down to eat, preferring to monitor and replenish the supply. This was her happy place. As an Anglo-Saxon who once lacked an appreciation for the importance of freshly prepared food and sit-down family meals, this was my training ground. I have since honoured her customs in my own home with family and friends, which brings me the same joy to nourish souls. She reinforced in me that love isn’t always conveyed by what you say, but rather how you look after those you love every single day. Second helpings of her renowned moussaka, gemistra and spanakopita were provided without me asking. My mouth was full and it was just assumed that I’d eat more. Extra slices of thin white sesame bread and the bowls of tzaziki, taramitsolata, feta, olives and other delicacies were constantly refilled. As other bellies filled and she was casually waved off, all of her attention shifted to me. It was our routine. She had that innocent look of anticipation, and as embarrassed as I was, I would take a deep breath and nod an okay for a third helping. She wasn’t twisting my arm. Her eyes would light up with joy and radiant laughter. I’d always pay this ultimate compliment to the chef by gorging myself beyond reason. Then the kourabiedes, other custardy sweets and Greek coffee came out to bloat me over the edge. A leftover takeout package was prepared, then she would finally sit, pour my miniature coffee cup upside down and read my grounds slowly and carefully while others translated her predictions of what my future held. She always reassured me that things would be okay, with a few intriguing twists and turns, and she was always right. Unable to move too far after dinner, I would waddle to the living room couch for the nightly news – which included the legendary Sourligas peanut gallery – and sneak a nap in prior to departure, satisfied and humbled by the love and care that I received. Christos’ mom was very special to me. I’ve lost such a wise stable figure in my life. I take comfort that she has passed these nurturing qualities on to her daughter and sons, and they know that I expect to be fed three helpings the next time I’m able to visit and mourn with them. My sincerest condolences to Alex, Lambrini, George, John and Christos and their families. Take comfort in knowing that Mama will always be with you, along with all of the fortunate folks like me who she selflessly adored.

Τα συλλυπητήριά μου σε όλους και πιο πολύ στα παιδιά τις θέας και τον σύζυγό Αλέκο.
