A mother's heart

Last week I met an older woman who was talking to me about her daughter, who is dying of AIDS. There was such tenderness in the way she was saying, "you know, when she was a little girl, she was just so nice. I can remember rocking her in my arms when she was just a baby, and she was just so sweet. Such a nice girl..."
 
Mothers all around the world are suffering for their kids, and seeing them as precious, and little, and nice and sweet. A mother's heart...
 
They say we'll likely be attending a lot of funerals in Zimbabwe. That's a lot of suffering mothers and fathers and brothers and sisters and friends.
