When she wasn’t sleeping at home, because she was taking a class out of town, she would take her pillow and fall asleep. His smell made her feel at his side and enchanted her. Today, 32 years after birth, smelling his scent still reminds her of her childhood and the presence of her mother.
Her mother always worked like crazy, and called her home every afternoon, around 4pm. She got excited and told her what she had done during the day, what she had to bring to school and they expressed their love to each other. When he didn’t call her, the little girl did. She felt great because she could use the telephone. The detail of these phone calls remained in her heart throughout her life.
