Facing Uncertainty.

Teachers had also been sent to the war zones in Inkeri, so Waino Mullo was not able to attend school on a regular basis; however, he had earned two certificates for auto mechanics which allowed him to move forward. One day Waino happened to be standing on a shipyard dock in Sweden, and the shipyard was in fact looking for workers at that time. Since the yard cranes happened to have car motors installed in them, Waino was able to help repair them, especially the larger ones. He was not able to speak Swedish, but an acquaintance in Estonia was able to converse to the Swedish mechanics that Waino in fact could help them more if they really needed it, which as it turned out, they did. All that he really had to do to get the cranes operational again was to simply use a meter long electric cord which he cut himself. The crane(s) began working again to everyones' amazement and Waino was more or less hired on the spot. Waino worked on that same crane that he helped repair for seven years as it turned out. Then sadly the unrest also occurring within Sweden began asking why all the foreigners had entered the Scandinavian nation. All European newspapers were filled from beginning to end with news of unrest during those tumultuous war times. Those papers also mentioned the fact that Canada was looking for and accepting new immigrants. Waino was almost 40 years old and began seriously contemplating all the possibilities in Canada, as countless other immigrants were also doing during such uncertain and fearful times in Europe. Someone had told Mr. Mullo that "if you don't go now, once you turn 40, they'll no longer accept you". Waino made up his mind for himself and his family's sake to move to Canada asap, even though he didn't have enough money for all the tickets required. He was able to come up with the ticket money for everybody except himself, which meant that his ticket payment would come out of his new wages made in their new homeland of Canada overseas. Very poignantly said; "When you have seen good and bad days, you give more value to life". To be continued, until next time my fellow/lady bloggers, literary artists and readers, bye for now.
