Lara posted several messages this past week, concerned with ‘females’ from motherhood to childhood. She remembered her mother’s birthday with a set of three pictures of her that spanned the ages of her adult life. They can be found at

Her caption read, “My beautiful mother you would have been 82 today... miss you 🤍🦋”
It’s not often that we have gotten to see what her mother looked like when she was young, and she was certainly quite attractive.

“You would have been 82”: Lara Fabian mourns the disappearance of her mother
Four years have passed since the disappearance of Maria Luisa Serio, Lara Fabian's mother. In a publication on Instagram on October 12, the singer paid tribute to her tender accomplice. A necessarily moving message for her community.
"We have a strong bond, and in this bond, a sharing that makes us unique... I feel in my being that I must tell you this moment of my life, which is without a doubt, the most painful of all those that I have experienced to date." It is with these words that Lara Fabian chose to announce to her very large community, on Facebook, on March 30, 2019, the disappearance of her lifelong accomplice, her mother, Maria Luisa Serio. The latter had been suffering for many years from a neurodegenerative disease, dementia with Lewy bodies. A painful situation for the star who dedicated the very personal L'Oubli to her in the 2015 album, Ma vie dans la tienne.
Despite the progression of this illness which affects Catherine Laborde today, the two women were able to preserve their complicity almost to the end. However, as certain dates approach, certain memories become more painful.
“My beautiful mother…”
The disappearance of the one who gave her life remains undeniably a wound. Ones that sometimes make her lose her footing, like this day in February 2020 in a 50' Inside report, where she was shown images of her parents who came to surprise her in song, on a famous television set. Lara Fabian, however, likes to remember that her mother wanted her to be free in her life and her choices, and that it was she who encouraged her to return to Canada when the disease had already colonized her body. "I asked her permission to leave and I swear to you that she said - yet there were parts where she was there and parts where she was not there - she turned towards me and she said: "'Finally my life, you are going to return to a place where people have their arms big, big, wide open,'" she confided in a documentary called Lara.
This October 12, Lou's grandmother's birthday, it is impossible for the singer not to have a thought for her mother. “My beautiful mother, you would have been 82 years old today… miss u” indicated the former coach of The Voice. To accompany her words, Lara Fabian revealed some mother-daughter photos in black and white or in color, witnesses of happy days. Heart touching.

On the other end of the age spectrum, Lara also posted a ‘reel’ on her FB and Instagram pages at
www.facebook.com/reel/912000970264637
(also available on youtube at www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VT1W3_3vm0)
with the (Instagram) caption, “Let's get engaged 🦋”.
Lara was discussing the OMG Plan International France (https://www.plan-international.fr/), and in particular, “International Girls’ Rights Day” on October 11. Although this is a bit off-topic, in honor of Lara’s urging that ‘we get engaged’, here is an article about it (https://www.plan-international.fr/actualites/journee-internationale-des-droits-des-filles-le-11-octobre-long-plan-international-france-installe-une-classe-vide-au-forum-des-halles/):

International Girls' Rights Day: on October 11, the NGO Plan international France sets up an empty classroom at the Forum des Halles
On October 11, International Girls' Rights Day, the NGO Plan International France sets up an empty classroom in the canopy of the Forum des Halles in order to raise awareness about girls dropping out of school around the world. Passersby are invited to visit and bring this classroom to life. Personalities, spokespersons for the NGO and two young activists from Cameroon will speak.
An empty class at the Forum des Halles to warn about girls dropping out of school
International Girls' Rights Day, obtained by Plan International from the UN in 2012, is an opportunity to recall that the situation of girls' rights in the world remains dramatic. In order to raise public awareness of the right to education and the causes of girls dropping out of school, the NGO Plan International France is setting up an empty classroom in the canopy of the Forum des Halles in Paris on October 11. On each of the tables will be placed an absence note, in which a student gives in writing the reason for dropping out of school: child marriage, early pregnancy, female genital mutilation, forced labor, etc.
The installation will be open to the public from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Passers-by will be invited to visit this classroom, read the absence words and symbolically replace them with a school object (kit, notebook, schoolbag, etc.)
Signs raising awareness of girls' rights will be placed all along the route, and collective warm-ups and stretching will be offered before and after the races, including a yoga class given by Fanny Veyrac. Participants will be able to enjoy activities in the village, such as a photocall. A supply of seasonal fruit and cakes as well as a catering stand will be made available for runners. A speaker will host the event and photographers will be present to immortalize the day. The event will end with a concert by Dorely and Kee-Yoon Kim.
Where? Canopy of the Forum des Halles, 75001 Paris
When? October 11, 2023, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., speaking engagements at 12 p.m.

The Lara Fabian Family FB page noted the following: “On the occasion of this day, our Lara supports the NGO Plan International France which reminds us that education is the most important powerful lever which allows girls to protect themselves, to emancipate themselves, to preserve their rights and their social roles. Around 118 million girls worldwide are deprived of the rights to education, which is intolerable.”
While these weekly updates separate one week from the next, these posts were in a sense a continuation from Lara’s last post the week before, a picture of herself as a child. Had her situation been different, and were she denied an education due to family or societal difficulties, imagine what the world would have lost…that’s what’s being continually lost when those things affect girls all over the world.

The Lara Fabian Espana channel has re-emerged on youtube. (https://www.youtube.com/@larafabianespana). As noted in the News Update of 1/17/23 and 1/24/23 it was removed after 8+ months of youtube allowing it, during which time they posted hundreds and hundreds of videos, with 210,000 views in all. They then re-appeared briefly last April, before again disappearing. In the last two weeks they have already posted more than 20 videos covering various Lara performances/documentaries, and have made available the other videos posted this year (though not the extensive number done earlier, assuming that it was from the same people involved). Given the great energy they have shown in highlighting Lara’s work, let’s hope that they have an extended lifetime on youtube.
Lara’s focus this past week, on her mother and female education, did not advance the discussion of ‘the best is yet to come’ promised multiple times last week. That may well be a longer-term goal, though given its recent emphasis, an announcement would seem to be somewhat imminent. Whatever it is, Lara seems excited about it, so we should be too. Happy Fall, everyone.
