This is the role of the mother. And in that visit I really saw clearly, for the first time, why a mother is really important.

She stands between the unknown and the known.
This quote highlights the profound role of a mother beyond basic nurturing and affection. It emphasizes that a mother's significance lies in her unique position of connection and support, bridging the mysterious and familiar worlds that her children encounter.
