In the cool waters of the ocean, on a beach in the city of my birth, she came to me.
She, who had given birth to my physical form, greeted me so peacefully, joyfully, and silently.
In an instant, the sun shined more brightly and the cool air seemed to hug me.
The waves of the ocean tickled my feet, and I giggled involuntarily.
I felt her smile, and I sensed that I was shining in her invisible presence.
Joy filled my heart, and I was thankful for her visit and consolation.
