Inspiration?
who else can it be
raised eight children
after the husband died.

a widow at age 37
oldest son is eighteen
youngest is less than 2 years old.

a great help to sibling of four
a great support to parents
and parents-in-law.

now at her 70
still beautiful
and very youthful.
                                                      
happy and strong
                                                                 My mother,
                                                                  Veronica
