Epifania Z. Quintana

My Wife and Our Mother is always with us. She's the whisper of the leaves as we walk down the street, she's the smell of certain foods you remember, she’s the flowers that we pick, and she’s the fragrance of life itself.

She's the cool hand on your brow when you're not feeling well; she's the breath in the air on a cold winter's day. She is the sound of the rain that Lulls you to sleep, the colors of a rainbow, she is Christmas morning.

My wife and our Mother lives inside our laughter. She's the place we came from, our first home, and she's the map we follow with every step we take.

She's our first love, our first friend; nothing on earth can separate us.

Not time, not space...not even death.
