"Whistler's Mother" - This hung in Germany in the living room.

I remember it on the same wall as the sofabed and the picture of Jesus praying in Gethsemane. This hung close to the front door, whereas the other hung over the sofabed. She brought this from Mengersdorf.

It is a wonderful thing a mother,
Others may love you,
But only your mother knows you.
She works for you,
She protects you,
Loves you,
Forgives you everything that you do
Because she understands you
And commits the only wrong
To die and abandon you.
