Occasionally, I flash back to my childhood.
One memory of my Mother - though tucked away in the dusty recesses of my mind - remains the Saintliest!
I recall her lovingly washing my wee body in a basin of sudsy lukewarm water as I splashed about and squealed in delight.
In another precious moment, she cradled me in her arms as she sang a popular tune of the day.

You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are gray
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please, don't take my sunshine away
The other nite, dear
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy, when skies are grey
You'll never know, dear
How much I love you
Please, don't take my sunshine away

To this day, I imagine, she was not only singing out those heartfelt thoughts to me, but also to my dear father, Victor, who had just passed away.

"God gave us memories that we might have roses in December."
