When I was a home care nurse, I had a patient named Epifania who was more than a hundred years old. Her daughter, Leonardita, who was in her early 70s, took magnificent, never-stinting care of her mother. And when pneumonia finally bore the old lady away, Leonardita wept and cried, “Now I am an orphan. When your mamma dies, you are truly alone.”
