A Personal Note From Susana
Happy Mother’s Day! Tribute to a good son!
The best thing I have ever done in my life is to be my son’s mother. And really the happiest “Mother’s Day” I will have this year having is having lived long enough to stand witness to the good man he has become. In Yiddish and in short, “My son has become a “mensch.” This means he is “a person of integrity, morality, dignity and with a sense of what is right and responsible.” It is also defined on-line as a person who is supportive, a friend; and to be calm in troubled times.”
