Article: What Mom left behind by Jennifer Loeber
A photo blog from CNN I found on Mother's Day weekend in United States. It reminds me of what it felt like when my sister and I sorting through our Mom's belongings, clothes, books and old photos after she passed away. We read letters from her friends back in her college year. (I wish writing letter is still popular these days. It is much more personal than writing email. Can you tell I like looking through those old postcards at a flee market?)
There are times that I wish I didn't think too much about what was or was not appropriate to ask her. My mom was a lady of few words. I would have asked her to tell us much more about what her life was like (even though she might have said no) or what she was like growing up and what it took to be where she was. Or simple little things
The other day I was invited to join a dinner and my friend's mom told us about how she organized her stamp collection or how her baby eagle "Flopsie" from a webcam from North Carolina was doing.
I am sure my mom would have some stories like those to tell us.
At least I was glad that our mom & daughter relationship had improved so much from my teenager year. She definitely was my best best friend.
If you still have a mom I do hope that you find a great and memorable time to share even though things are rough. Think she is a human just like us after all. She has all these emotion and feeling just like we do. The special thing she is our mom and without her we won't exist and experience all the joy in the world today.
