A
Tribute to Catherine Hyland
By
Margot Hyland
My
mother is a poem I’ll never be able
to write--though everything I write
is a poem to my mother. My mom, who
I call my heroine, is no more. But
she has left behind a legacy of love
and hope, cherished with little acts
of kindness that I wish to share
with all of my readers. To me, the
legacy of my mothers love is more
valuable than an inheritance. My mom
is the truest friend I have ever
had. When trials, heavy and sudden,
had mentally shattered me, she was
there with encouraging words. When
adversity overtook prosperity, she
was there with a healing smile. When
friends who once rejoiced with me in
the days of sunshine deserted me,
she hugged me to her bosom. She was
still there. When trouble thickened
around me, she clung to me, and by
her kind precepts and counsels, she
dissipated the clouds of darkness,
showering happiness and peace in my
heart. She was there in every
moment, in all the ups and downs of
my life. She is my angel.
Mom,
I want the entire world to know the
sacrifices you made for your
family, the love you had for your
children, and the children of
others. Mom, you believed that
Love in Action
can save many, many children’s
lives. You have sowed the seed of
love in us, and I will carry on your
task and spread the word of love in
every soul I meet. I will make you
live in others, too.
This
letter is a tribute to my mom, the
late Catherine Hyland. I promise to
enliven her spirit by reaching out
to those young children who have
been deprived of the heavenly bliss
of parental love.
If
you have known the love of a devoted
parent--or wish you had--please
consider making a small or large
donation to
CIFKIDS.
Your contribution will help by
touching a child’s heart with that
same sacred flame, giving them hope
for tomorrow.
