Excerpt from A Place in Thy Memory This hour, my precious mother, my whole heart is drawn out to you, and every thought in my soul is weary with longings for home. If this frail body could move with the fleetness of thought, how I would fly to you now and pillow my head on your breast, while your soft hand would dry these tears from my poor, poor eyes! Oh, that I could Open them once more, mother, once more see your smiling face, and feel my spirit grow warm and gentle in the light of your eyes and your looks of love!
