I have to know more, so I ask, "Does your mom believe in this? Do you still see your mom?" Angelita wipes away another tear, "No, she's gone. They say it was a thing of honor." She wipes both eyes, while still trying to hide her full emotions, "But to answer your question, no, Mom did not believe in it. None of us believe in it ...I mean, none of us women do. How could we?" Angelita smiles through her tears, "But it doesn't really matter what us women believe. There is a book containing a lot of hard to believe stuff. But the men follow it, and the one they follow lived over 15 centuries ago; which I don't see as a problem. It is only what they say he was like, that is troublesome. They say when he was over 50 year old, he married a six year old girl named Aisha. Mom said it doesn't matter whether that is true or not ...it is what the men believe, and that is what they follow. Us women don't know if that is true, but it is true that they follow it, and that is all that matters."
