Claudia,
I was so sorry to hear of your mother's death. "St. Theresa" was a very special person, and I always appreciated all the prayers she said for my husband. Remember this --
Our Mother is always with us. She’s the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street. She’s the smell of bleach in our freshly laundered socks. She’s the cool hand on our brow when we’re not feeling well. Our Mother lives inside our laughter. She’s crystallized in every teardrop we shed. She’s the place we came from…our first home. She’s the map we follow with every step we take. She’s our first love and our first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate us from her…not time, not space,
not even death..
