Many people are important in making us who and what we are.
None are so important, however, as father and mother.
In infancy Mother fed me, changed me and bathed me so that I was comfortable. Mother set protective barriers around me to keep me from harm. She taught me to avoid the hot stove, to fear harmful things, and she bundled me up against the winter's cold. Mother taught me many things while I was a tiny infant and toddler. Mother created a strong bond which endured between us until the day of her death.
