all your days on this earth were without rest. always you waited for it to be your time. always waited in vain.
and now you wait for us.
en nuestros corazones nada ha cambiado. serás adorada y respetada para siempre. trabajaremos sin descanso para que te sientas orgullosa de nosotros.
espera pacientemente, Mamá. pronto será como antes fue, todos juntos.
pero sin dolor.
