I said maghrib prayer with mom. We could find only one prayer rug in the carton we brought and so we both had to share it. While praying I could feel her motherly aura around me. I think all mothers have this special emanation of motherhood that surrounds us the moment we enter their vicinity. The radiance of motherly feeling, love and gentleness effulges everything around. Even our spirits! It seems that all mothers are united souls, of an ambience, sharing a single feeling of motherhood. Hail all mothers! Hail Mothers’ Union!

P.S. I am going to pray with her everyday until we find other prayer rugs.
