“In her presence, the world seemed to shimmer with radiance and joy.”

Melania Trump remembers her mother as ‘a ray of light in the darkest days’

In her eulogy, the Slovenian-born former first lady paid tribute to her mother’s “nurturing spirit” and “unparalleled affection.” “She embodied the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law — a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives,” Melania Trump said. “She’s a true inspiration, a role model to me, and to so many.”

'Her nurturing spirit had no limits, creating a legacy that will last for generations,' 'With her beauty and impeccable sense of style she turned heads. But it was her unwavering dedication and hard work that made her exceptional.'

Melania Trump's Amazing Grace by Sundance

"There is a particular type of grace that surfaces when a daughter grows stronger as a direct result of a closely bonded mother’s guiding wisdom. Historically and generationally, women of eastern Europe are known for a particular style of strength. Always prepared to be left alone due to conflict, war, or the loss of hardened warriors, an internal fortitude is created blending femininity with a deliberate, cold and pragmatic approach at life. The daughters of these quiet but strong-willed generational women, learn skills of emotional control, loyalty, deliberateness and fortitude that turn the finest silks into fabrics stronger than titanium. It is transparently obvious that Melania learned well from Amalija.

Paying tribute to the guiding hand upon her life, to her mentor, counselor, friend and beloved mother, First Lady Melania Trump delivers a farewell eulogy to her guide. If you have ever wondered where the centered strength of Melania Trump originated, listen carefully and you can hear the heartbeat of Amalija Knavs in this delivery." WATCH:

Terry Spencer Associated Press January 18, 2024

PALM BEACH, Fla. — Former First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday remembered her mother as “a ray of light in the darkest of days” during a funeral service at a church not far from the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

The former first lady said she always found peace in the presence of her mother, Amalija Knavs, 78, and that her mother was always there to listen.

“In her presence, the world seemed to shimmer with radiance and joy,” Melania Trump said during a eulogy as her husband, former President Donald Trump, sat nearby. “Our bond was unbreakable.”

The former first lady said her mother celebrated her family’s triumphs and supported them during difficult times. She said she would remember the laughter that accompanied travels with her mother, father and sister and “conversations that flowed effortlessly with grace and charm.”

“Rest in peace my beloved mother,” Melania Trump said before stepping down from the pulpit.

She then stood in front of her mother’s casket, touched her fingers to her lips and placed them on the casket.

Among the guests who arrived before the start of the private service for Knavs at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea were two of Donald Trump‘s children from previous marriages, Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump; Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner; and Republican U.S. Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

The church is where Trump and his wife were married in 2005. Knavs died Jan. 9 in Miami after an undisclosed illness.

At midmorning, a hearse pulled up in front of the church followed by an SUV carrying the former president and first lady and two other vehicles with their Secret Service detail. Wearing a black dress and sunglasses, Melania Trump and her father, Viktor Knavs, led a procession up to the church, followed by the former president and their son, Barron.

They then waited on the steps of the church as the coffin was lifted from the hearse and taken into the church.

After the service, a priest waved an urn of incense and a man held up a cross as the coffin was carried out of the church, followed by Melania Trump and her father, and then Donald Trump and their son, Barron.

After the coffin was placed in the hearse, the former president and first lady exchanged pleasantries with the priest. Donald Trump led his wife to an SUV with her father, and then he got into a separate vehicle.

During the Trump presidency, the first lady’s mother lived in New York along with her father and occasionally appeared at the White House. Amalija Knavs was at a 2018 ceremony where the first lady debuted her “Be Best” public awareness campaign to help children.

The Knavses raised Melania, born Melanija, and her older sister, Ines, in the rural industrial town of Sevnica while Slovenia was under Communist rule as part of Yugoslavia. Amalija Knavs was a textile worker and homemaker, while her husband worked as chauffeur before becoming a car dealer.

The former first lady, 53, attended high school in the Slovenian capital, Ljubljana, and changed her name to Melania Knauss when she started modeling. She settled in New York in 1996 and met Trump in 1998.

She sponsored her parents’ immigration to the United States, and they became citizens at a New York City courthouse in 2018, while Trump was president.

Their lawyer said at the time that they applied for citizenship on their own and didn’t get any special treatment.

In her eulogy, the Slovenian-born former first lady paid tribute to her mother’s “nurturing spirit” and “unparalleled affection.”

“She embodied the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law — a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives,” Melania Trump said. “She’s a true inspiration, a role model to me, and to so many.”

Trump likewise paid tribute to Knavs during his victory speech at the Iowa caucuses, saying, “She’s up there, way up there. She’s looking down and she’s so proud of us. And I just want to say to Amalija, you are special, one of the most special people I’ve ever known.”

Trump’s adult children from his previous two marriages also attended the service for Melania Trump’s mother: daughters Ivanka Trump and Tiffany Trump and their husbands, Jared Kushner and Michael Boulos, and sons, Don Jr. and Eric, and their partners, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump.

Trump’s in-laws remained in their native Slovenia after Melania Trump moved to New York City to become a model in 1996 and after she married Trump in 2005. They moved to the United States when Trump was president, and Melania Trump sponsored their bid to become citizens in 2018. After Trump lost the 2020 election to Joe Biden, he, Melania and Barron re-located to Mar-a-Lago. Amalija and Viktor Knavs joined them at the resort, “living it up as well-heeled retirees” and spending a great deal of time with their daughter and grandson, as the New York Post reported.

Meanwhile, Trump has reportedly been able to spend more time with his youngest son since leaving the White House and moving to Mar-a-Lago. In a 2015 People interview, Melania Trump admitted to being the more hands-on parent due to her husband’s first presidential campaign. But free from running the country or a real estate empire at Mar-a-Lago, Trump sometimes plays golf with his son or enjoys a one-on-one dinner with him, TheThings.com reported. Melania Trump told People about the “beautiful respect and admiration” that exists between father and son, and that “Barron loves to be one-on-one with Dad.”

Barron’s natural athleticism and height also makes Trump proud, according to reports. At a 2020 campaign rally, Trump called him out, proclaiming, “My Barron. My tall Barron. My beautiful Barron. Handsome. He is handsome.”"

Donald Trump's youngest son Barron is now comfortably the tallest in the family, towering over his father at his grandmother's funeral.

Father and son stood next to each other as they mourned Melania Trump's mother Amalija Knavs, who died on January 9 aged 78.

Barron, now 17, stands at 6ft, 7 inches - taller even than his ex-president father who at 6ft, 3 inches is a towering figure himself.

The teenager stood beside Donald Trump, Melania, and Knavs' widower Viktor, dwarfing all three as they waited for the coffin to arrive on Thursday morning.

Knavs was farewelled by about 100 mourners at Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Florida, where Melania gave a moving eulogy.

Barron's four-inch height advantage over his father was obvious from the moment they got out of the car together, as the boy put a guiding hand on Trump's arm.

Melania in her eulogy gushed about her mother's love for her grandson Barron, whom she 'showered with affection, illuminating his world with love, tender care and unwavering devotion'.

Trump credited his son's impressive growth to Knavs' traditional Slovenian cooking at a campaign event before the Iowa Republican caucuses.

'That's how he got so tall, he only ate her food,' he joked to the crowd of supporters.

'I said you're gonna be a basketball player. He said, "well, I like soccer dad, actually". But you can't talk them into everything! Barron was a special boy.'

Barron is said to have a close bond with his grandmother, who along with Viktor taught him to speak Slovenian as he grew up.

Bojan Pozar wrote in his book 'Melania Trump - The Inside Story: The Potential First Lady' that Barron 'almost certainly speaks Slovenian with... Ines, his aunt, who also lives in New York'.

'Ines Knavs was the one who took care of all the paperwork at the Slovenia consulate in New York so that Barron could formally acquire Slovenian citizenship,' he added.

Barron is believed to be the first son of a president to have dual citizenship.

Barron has grown dramatically since his father's inauguration in January 2017 when he was just 10

The teenager stood beside Donald Trump, Melania, and Knavs' widower Viktor (left), dwarfing all three as they waited for the coffin to arrive on Thursday morning

They walked slowly towards the church as a foursome, in complete silence, dozens of agents looking on, the three men wearing black suits and ties and Melania in a black suit jacket, black skirt and a silver cross around her neck

Other photos from the funeral show Barron next to his grandfather Viktor and various other mourners - and being far taller than all of them.

Mourners joined Melania and her father Viktor Thursday morning at the same picturesque Palm Beach church where she married Trump nearly two decades earlier.

The former president flew into Florida in the early hours to be at his wife's side, the pair following closely behind the hearse in one of around a dozen black SUVs, arriving just after 10am.

Melania and Trump were accompanied by Barron while Knavs' widower Viktor looked visibly upset but paused to compose himself before joining the others.

Reverend Tim Schenck, who joined Bethesda as rector in 2022, stood at the church entrance waiting to greet them with a somber nod of the head and some brief words of comfort.

Melania remained stoic and expressionless behind her black jumbo sunglasses as all four turned in unison to watch as Knavs' coffins, bedecked with a dazzling display of white roses, orchids and lillies was carried from the street to the church.

Finally they all turned to go inside, the coffin entering behind them, passing another huge pink and white floral display comprised of roses, carnations and daisies.

All four emerged from the church just behind the coffin, which was carried by six pallbearers

Melania maintained her steely composure as she emerged from church, watching in silence as the coffin was carried outside, flanked by pallbearers and clergy

Melania Trump delivered a touching eulogy for her mother Amalija Knavs, who died January 9, aged 78

Inside as she gave the eulogy, Melania's voiced cracked from the podium as she said, 'Rest in peace, my beloved mother'.

'Her nurturing spirit had no limits, creating a legacy that will last for generations,' she said.

'With her beauty and impeccable sense of style she turned heads. But it was her unwavering dedication and hard work that made her exceptional.'

Melania maintained her steely composure as she emerged from church, watching in silence as the coffin was carried outside, flanked by pallbearers and clergy.

As the procession reached the road and she watched her mom being loaded back into the hearse, Trump reached out and tenderly squeezed his wife's hand.

She left in the same vehicle as her dad while Trump followed in another SUV, giving a nod of gratitude to Secret Service agents who closed the road to ensure a smooth getaway for mourners.

Melania's mother Amalija Knavs (center, pictured in June 2018) was laid to rest on Thursday at the same picturesque Palm Beach church where her daughter married Donald Trump nearly two decades earlier

The Trumps have been regulars at the 125-year-old chapel since Melania wed then-real estate mogul Donald there in 2005 in front of VIP guests including Hillary and Bill Clinton.

A year later, Barron was christened at the Gothic-Revival style venue, which is less than three miles from Trump's swish Florida residence, Mar-a-Lago.

The Trumps also attended several Christmas services there throughout his Presidency.

Former First Lady Melania Trump 's mother Amalija Knavs, 78, died after being hospitalized in Miami, Florida, over the holidays

It was unclear if Donald Trump would make it after a heated exchange with a New York federal judge overseeing E Jean Carroll's defamation case against him. The judge denied an application to delay the trial.

At the funeral Thursday, Trump seemed to put aside his anger and his need to be the center of attention. He wore a solemn expression as he let Melania Trump lead the proceedings. He walked to the side of her, her father, Viktor Knavs, and Barron as the four entered the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, not far from his Mar-a-Lago estate.

Judge Lewis Kaplan noted that the former president was not legally obliged to be court in person anyway.

Sun Ra Arkestra - Living Sky - the new album is out TODAY on Omni Sound

For more than two decades, the disciple that has most visibly carried on Sun Ra Arkestra’s legacy and sound is their musical director, alto saxophonist Marshall Allen, the iconic fire breather and life force that restored the Arkestra’s vitality in the massive vacuum left by Ra and John Gilmore’s death in the ‘90s. Allen turned 98 in 2022 and, as evidenced by Living Sky, his influence and leadership remain undiminished. Marking the Arkestra’s first new recording since their 2021 Grammy-nominated album Swirling, Living Sky was recorded on June 15, 2021 at Rittenhouse SoundWorks in Philadelphia and features a total of nineteen musicians, including a strings section.

Send “📂“ for a random yet completely useless headcanon I have || ACCEPTING

@averagetm asked:

📂📂📂 !

📂 Warren hates being called pet names of any kind. Nicknames - eg ‘Hothead’ from Boomer - are fine, but no pet names. Part of the reason why is that his parents call/called him pet names, and he wants it to stay just for them. His dad usually called/calls him ‘Honey’, while his mom leans more towards ‘Sweetheart’ or ‘Baby’. He has trouble remembering his dad’s voice, since by the time he’s starting high school, it’s been eight years since he’s been able to talk to his dad. That’s why ‘honey’ is the most off-limits of all of them. He doesn’t want to ‘give pieces of [his parents] away’, even if that’s not how he rationalises it. Another part of it is just not wanting people to get too close emotionally, and not wanting his ‘image’ to get tarnished. His reputation and what people think about him is a form of armour at this point, and he’s not willing to give it up.

📂 He’s been living with undiagnosed high functioning depression (PDD) for years. Some of it is tied to the direct trauma of losing his dad, some of it is a result of the lifestyle changes that came later on. He knows there’s something ‘wrong’ with him, even if he doesn’t know what it is, but he hasn’t told anyone. He doesn’t see the point. It’s not like he has the time or money to see anyone, anyway. He doesn’t tell his mom, because while he trusts her and knows she loves him, he also knows she’s working herself ragged already to look after him, and he doesn’t want to add to that or sound like he’s complaining. He doesn’t tell his dad for a few reasons, and he doesn’t trust anyone else enough, nor does he think it’s their problem. He can deal with it on his own. (It’s a fun little reminder that, for as mature as he’s had to be, he’s still fourteen.)

📂 When Warren gets home from school/work (depending on if he had to hurry to his shift or not), the first two things he always does is check the mail, then check his fridge. The mailboxes for the Shades are in the lobby, so Warren refrains from actually sorting through whatever’s in it until he’s brought it up to his apartment. He’s usually looking for bills or letters from Barron. There’s not anything else useful there - junk mail and fliers. Once he’s checked to see if there’s anything important, he’ll check the fridge to see what he can make for food. Sometimes his mom will have left something for him to heat up, sometimes they have leftovers or food he brought from the Lantern, sometimes he’s the one who has to make food. He’ll usually read any important letters as he gets some food made. If he doesn’t have any letters to read, or he’s already read them and the food isn’t ready, he props up a textbook and studies, or finishes a book or something like that. But that’s the priority order. Letters from Dad -> Textbooks and Homework -> Books.

Mario Legacy Challenge: 1972

Last year, Mario started a relationship with Pauline, the younger sister of his best friend Luigeena. Now let's see how things continue.

One day in early 1972, Mario meets Pauline while she is returning home from her job as a style influencer.

Mario also happens to see Luigeena. Interestingly enough, she talks about food with Pauline, but fashion with Luigeena (who is in the culinary career). After taking outside, the three all go to Mario's apartment. Though since Mario and Pauline are in a relationship, Luigeena might feel like a third wheel there.

Later that year, when Mario and Pauline have been dating for about a year, they go on a date on a rooftop lounge. This was probably the same spot (it is in-game at least) where Luigeena and her husband Tony met when Mario introduced the two to each other. And it was at Tony and Luigeena's wedding where Mario and Pauline first met.

The two have a highly successful date. Though they have gone on many dates before (not really in-game, but I assume they have in-universe), none have quite felt as romantic as this one.

And it's time! Mario purposes to Pauline and she says yes!

With this date and proposal, Mario and Pauline both gained the deeply in love sentiment. It's clear for them both that this is meant to be.

But since the two are now engaged, the next step is to plan the wedding.

But before that, Mario goes to train at a local gym in order to work on his fitness. (He still needs to work on skills for his Renaissance Sim aspiration, after all).

Later on in the year, Mario travels to the Seaside Kingdom to visit the Kato & Parata family. In case you don't know (or don't exactly remember) who they are: Kaori Kato is Mario's friend and former neighbor who moved away in late 1970. Kaori was originally the single mother of Caitlin Kato. She later started dating Rangi Parata and the two ended up having a daughter named Rhonda, born in 1970. Kaori and Rangi are not yet married at this point (I'm not exactly sure when they get married but it happens off-screen).

Mario is presumably here to invite the family to his upcoming wedding.

Mario goes swimming with Rangi and the two get to know each other better.

Mario also spends some time playing with Rhonda before returning to Brooklyn.

The next person Mario invites to his wedding is Regan Espinoza. (And apparently he tells a story involving bats as well.)

Later on, Mario talks to Luigeena. I assume Pauline already told about the engagement off-screen considering Pauline is currently living with her. And of course, as both Mario's best friend and Pauline's sister, Luigeena is coming to the wedding.

And can't forget about Tony. At the moment he is very sad. (No idea why. Maybe one of his relatives died. I know that can't be the case in-game because I never made any relatives for him, but it could be the in-universe reason for his sadness.)

Mario and Pauline have already invited some guests to the wedding. (There are some other guests that I never showed here so we can just assume those were invited off-screen.) Now it's time to make some more planning for the wedding.

Before the plans are finalized, Mario gets to know Pauline's father, Nico Rigassi. The two may have briefly met at Luigeena and Tony's wedding, but this is the first time they get to know each other properly.

As for all the wedding plans made so far: the wedding is set to be held in Brooklyn Park, the same venue where Luigeena and Tony got married two years earlier (it's the best wedding spot in all of Brooklyn). The date is in Q1 1973, probably March.

As for some other news, Luigeena and Tony are now trying for a baby.

Here we have Mario's new neighbors after Tony and Kaori moved away (Tony and Mario first met when Tony moved to Mario's neighboring apartment and Tony later moved away when he married Luigeena). They are Keegan Barron (left) and Harrison Gibbs (right). Of course, Mario won't be their neighbor for long...

Mario and Tony talk about their plans for the near future. After the wedding, Mario will be moving in with Pauline, who is also currently living with Luigeena and Tony. So for a while, it will be the four of them all living in the same apartment. But at some point, Mario and Pauline may want to look for an apartment of their own. But there are other things to do first.

As we are approaching the end of the year, Pauline comes to visit Mario's old apartment. Now the wedding is only 3 months away and the two can't wait.

For Mario's experiences in 1973, see this post.
