The last time my mother was in a hospital, an essay by Thich Nhat Hanh moved in front of my eyes.
"Our mother is the teacher who first teaches us love, the most important subject in life," he wrote. "Without my mother I could never have known how to love. Thanks to her I can love my neighbors. Thanks to her I can love all living beings. Through her I acquired my first notions of understanding and compassion."

Your words are quite moving. The honor to your mother is profound.
I am honored to have read them.
