Most Kids Are Born Only Once Mother is always there when you need her. She helps, protects, listens,
advises and nurtures physically and morally. She makes sure that her
family is loved 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 52 weeks a year. At
least that's how I remember my mother, for the few precious years I was
blessed to have her. But no words can describe the sacrifice she made out
of love for me, her young son. I was 19 years old, and I was taken to a concentration camp with a large
group of other Jews. It was clear that we were destined to die. Suddenly
my mother stepped in and traded places with me. And although it was more
than 50 years ago, I will never forget her last words to me and her
good-bye look. "I have lived long enough. You have to survive because you
are so young," she said. Most kids are born only once. I was given birth
twice - by the same mother. by Joseph C. Rosenbaum
