Lana Nelson

Lana Nelson (née Abrahamsen) is the mother of Catrina Morera.

When her daughter was only 12, Lana got married a second time, to the Norwegian lawyer, and the family (consisting of two newlyweds and their rebellious kids) moved in to live together.

Lana's Story
Even though she initially came from a Swedish-Russian family, Lana barely learned her father's mother language when she was younger. As a child, she preferred to devote all her free time to music and caring for her younger sister. Robert tried to ensure that his family was never in need of anything. He didn't ask his children to achieve incredible success in school or music, either (although they still somehow managed to do it), and all his family members incredibly appreciated it.

Despite the fact that Lana's mother was busy at work, and her father often left them for several months to go on another shipping voyage, she never felt deprived of attention, being surrounded by numerous relatives on both sides of the family. She spent the weekends with her grandparents, happily went out with her cousins, and when her father was at home, she learned more and more about other countries where he had visited.

When the girl turned 14, her parents saved up enough money to move to a new spacious apartment. This was incredible news, because now Lana didn't have to share the bedroom with her noisy little sister, and this meant that she could finally devote more time to herself and things she actually liked. Soon she met one of her neighbors, a girl of her age, and it didn't take long before the teenagers became really close. Lana learned more and more about her new friend's life and the people who surrounded them here, but she also gradually abandoned her music classes. Reluctantly, she graduated from music school at 16 (with honors, despite the lack of interest), and since then she hasn't touched the piano for many years.
