Es un sentimiento que se arraiga en tu corazon igual como el arbol echa sus raices en la tierra, igual como la flor venera al sol,igual al encuentro entre el cielo y el mar.Una madre es lo mas sagrado que pudo crear Dios,despues de El mismo, es nuestro major Angel de la Guarda, nos cuida desde antes incluso de nacer y a medida que crecemos, sigue nuestro curso por la vida con el mismo primoroso cuidado y al final al expirar es en sus brazos donde nos sentimos en paz. Madrecita querida te extranaremos hoy y siempre."
