 I was visiting Florence Italy in the heat of the summer when I saw this mother with her child. The mother was wearing a woolen sweater and the child was dressed in sweats. The heat was intense, and as I watched her taking care of the child, I kept thinking about how the hot they must be in their clothing. Then I noticed that the child's clothing was stamped with numbers, as though they could have been refuges. It occurred to me then, that perhaps this was all that they had to wear. No matter where we are in the world, mothers are all the same. They want to care for their young. This scene inspired me as a mother and is a statement for all mothers everywhere. #Mothers of the World
