It was taken almost three weeks ago, when I went to see her mother in the hospital for the last time as she was dying from an irreversible and incurable liver disease.  I knew that, leaving for the training in the capital the next day, I may not see her again, so was glad to have been able to snap a picture of the two of them on my phone.  <\/p>\n<p>It was a few days later, while I was gone, that I got the news that Adeline&#8217;s mother had gone to be with Jesus.  How hard for my young friend, who was the main one in charge of her care these last few weeks at different hospitals!  <\/p>\n<p>I could take this story in many different ways or could write a whole book about different aspects of what went on, but let me just share with you a little bit more.  <\/p>\n<p>I know that here, having a framed picture of someone you love is very much appreciated, so before I came home I got this picture blown up to be an 8&#215;10, framed it, and brought it home to give it to Adeline.  When I saw her the night I got home and gave it to her, she cried, as I could have expected (even though crying in public is highly looked down on here).  But what I didn&#8217;t expect is what else she said through her tears &#8211; that it is the only picture she has of her mom.  She used to have a few pictures digitally on an SD card, but the SD card got lost and there went the pictures.  So she was so touched to have a picture remembrance of her mom.  If I hadn&#8217;t thought to snap the quick picture on my phone, she&#8217;d never have a picture of her mom to remember her by.
