© 2008 Armando Salas.--- Today is Santa Teresa's day, my mother's onomastic day. Loving mother and wife, she died eighteen years ago due to a breast cancer. Thanks God she didn't suffer pain and passed away in silence and peace as an angel. When I was a child we were poor. The gift for celebration, one bottle of cologne bought by my father and not always it was possible. Until I began to work and earn money, my presents always were one kiss and one hug. Today I also have them for you, mom, as every year, as always.------Upper image: Picnic at Morouzos beach (Ortigueira, my hometown), 1948.
