Reminiscences

When I was a young mother, my mother visited me in Salinas. Leah was just a tiny baby and she was a lot of work. While we were going somewhere, a song popped into my head and I began singing it. I still don't know very many of the words, but the ones that kept coming back to me and that I sang were, "You'll never know just how much I love you. You'll never know just how much I care."

As I was singing it, I looked at Mom and said, "She'll never know, will she?"

My mother looked deep into my eyes and answered, "No. She'll never know."
