Albert Einstein 48 - albert's Mother - Pauline Einstein

Dr. Albert Einstein's attachment to his family was evident From the fact that he always lived with his family, Be it his immediate close family or his extended family. Pauline - his mother and Hermann - his father, Brought him up with such loving care, affection, values That when they left him in Germany to finish his school, Albert felt so miserable without his parents and sister, Missed his family so much, that he left his school abruptly, Without a word to anyone, just packed up, boarded a train, To join his family in Italy. His parents welcomed him back. Though Albert's father Hermann passed away early in life, Without knowing or experiencing the joy of his son's triumphs, His mother Pauline lived to see all the inventions, glories And fame of her super intelligent son. She was proud to have given birth to a genius. Albert was always concerned about his mother's health Specially, after she was detected with stomach cancer. He spent half of his salary on Mileva, his sons and his mother. Even while Albert lived in Germany, his mother in Switzerland, He managed to send funds to her for all her expenses. After much effort and arrangements, Albert brought his mother Pauline to Berlin, To live with him and Elsa in their apartment. She was given a room on her own and both of them Looked after her most lovingly till her end. Pauline passed away on 20th Feb 1920, at the age of 62. Einstein wrote to his friend Heinrich Zangerr: "My mother died a week ago today in terrible agony. We are all completely exhausted. One feels in one's bones the significance of blood ties."
