"Always eat before you leave the house because if you heard that I died, you will not have the appetite to eat, and I wouldn't want you to die and follow me."
- Mangieh Susan Aleri Zama.

Mom, I experienced and understood the impact of that statement the day you left. Fortunately, your counsel was so ingrained in my psych that it became second nature...and just so you know, I ate beans and planti that morning.

Thank you,
