The mother memories that are closest to my heart are the small gentle ones that I have carried over from the days of my childhood. They are not profound, but they have stayed with me through life, and when I am very old, they will still be near . . .

They have carried me through the years and given my life such a firm foundation that it does not rock beneath flood or tempest. ↗
