“My Mom Away From Home”
This past week we had the opportunity to visit Sir Lowry’s Pass. To reiterate what others have said, it truly was a life-impacting experience. For me personally, I had the honor of meeting my mom for the next two weeks, Mrs. Fiela. Mrs. Fiela is truly one of the most genuine, gracious, and loving person I have ever met. Just being in her presence puts me in a better mood. Her immense faith and heart is evident through her actions and simple conversation. She immediately welcomed us into her home with open arms and shared her journey with our group. The struggles she has overcome have molded her into the wonderful lady that she is and motivates me to try and be a better person. Spending time with her as well as her family taught me how the simple joys in life are what are truly rewarding in the end. Material luxuries are obviously nice to have, but I honestly did realize that when it comes down to it, essentially faith, family, and friends are the genuine joys of life. Mrs. Fiela truly is an inspiration and the epitome of a woman I strive to be and I am more than blessed to be able to spend this special time with her throughout this trip.
