"I met her when I was 13 years old"/ Liri Berisha remembers her first

Liri Berisha, the wife of Democratic Party leader Sali Berisha, has shared in a podcast some of her memories of her first meeting with Mother Teresa.

Berisha remembers that in those years he was only 13-14 years old when he got to know him closely and met him for the first time.

Liri Berisha, also because of her profession as a pediatrician, remembers how she was accompanied by Mother Teresa to a house full of sick children.

Berisha also shared memories of how the entire family committed to welcoming Mother Teresa to their home, because she was someone they had dreamed of meeting since she was little, someone the whole world was talking about.

"I had the great fortune to meet and know Mother Teresa, I knew her when I was 13-14 years old with the name Gonxhe Bojaxhi. The name Gonxhe impressed me and was mentioned a lot at home. At that time, I did not know that the world wrote about her because I had not read the newspapers.

There was energy inside her and it showed in the way she walked. She made a circle like a young woman. I was impressed by her feet that showed her age and suffering, strappy sandals, calloused feet.

Mother Teresa accompanied us to her house full of sick people. She entered the house like a real mother and they looked at her like their mother. She sent us to another room that was the last room on this earth for them, two ladies were moving a person who had only bones left, she pulled me and touched me how they communicated with him. I saw the dedication and love with which they worked.

Mother Teresa was a woman who sacrificed herself, I had my family, my children, my company. I did charity work, inspired by my mother.

Mother Teresa told us she would come to our house, and we all committed to waiting for her because she was someone I had dreamed of meeting since I was little, someone the whole world was talking about.

She came with a girl named Jenny, the house became a pilgrimage for me. Mother Teresa spoke to everyone. I would tell her that I had known her mother and sister, I would not tell her that they died abandoned, it was painful and I would not tell her. I would tell her that the mother was honored and appreciated also for the work that Mother Teresa did.

Mother Teresa spoke an Albanian with forgotten words.

"Her granddaughter said that when her father met with her aunt, they spoke an Albanian that she did not understand," Berisha said. /CNA
