"Your mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your mother lives inside your laughter, and she's crystallized in every teardrop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time, not space not even death." (Author unknown)
