At the age of 2 I learned how great a Mother's love for her children is...
I lost my mother and sister when I was 2 years old. This happened on a dreadful day on December 1983. My mother was walking the streets of the Bronx, NY with my sister to see a doctor. Suddenly my sister let go of my mother's hand and crossed the street by herself. My mother ran after her but it was too late...My sister was run over by a truck and instantly killed. Mother ran after her and desperately went under the truck to get her out but the truck kept going and killed my mother as well. My mother's name was Carmen and my sister's name was Carmen Luz. My sister was only 4 years old at the time of the accident. Thru her death, my mother left 3 other children orphaned.

Sometimes my grandparents would tell me that I always held onto my mother's skirt when she was alive. I was always so attached to her that losing her was a shock to me. They told me that once I lost my mother, I stopped talking altogether. Adjusting to life without her was not easy at all. I didn't talk or interact with anyone. I grew up being extremely sky and insecure; I was a loner. Feeling emotions or caring for others was difficult for me because I guarded my heart from being hurt. When I finally cared for someone, I would be extremely afraid and paranoid of losing them. All my life I mourned the loss of my physical mother. I always felt that having her would have made my life so much better. After finding about that I was never an orphan but in actuality had a Spiritual Mother all along, I was shocked! I felt alone all my life but I was never alone. Heavenly Mother had mercy on me and allowed to know about Her and Her great sacrifice to give me eternal life. After learning about Her, my life has been drastically changing for the positive. I am becoming a better person everyday by following Her teachings and Her example of love. All of my life, I grew up mourning the loss of my mother not knowing Heavenly Mother was always with me. She revealed Herself to me at the perfect moment. I am so grateful that She came down out of heaven leaving all Her glory and Her throne behind to live
