missionaries of charity

we went to visit the "muddah reesas" today. mary jane was on cloud nine. two sisters were just coming back from taking a resident of their AIDS hospice to the doctor. they spotted mary jane walking down the side walk and were all giggles.
they pulled over and rolled down the window.
"how did you get out? you're supposed to travel with another sister...two by two."
and they burst into giggles again. once in the driveway they quickly came around the car and picked her up. i think the fact that they matched her beloved "muddah reesa" helped tame the stranger anxiety. we stayed for a little and they showed us their chapel. we saw plenty of pictures of mother teresa up on the walls. it reawakened a thought i had one night this past week as i was falling asleep. i need to do a painting of "ma t" to hang up by her bed. preferably holding a baby.
