Story
“There was a woman once who had one daughter who was very young.”
There was a woman once who had one daughter who was very young. She died and her mother never stopped but crying after her. One night the daughter came to her in a vision and told her not to be crying. She said "Dear Mother" every tear you cry you are putting a red needle through my heart and I'm alright otherwise she never cried again after that.
