Por qué queremos a mamá
-
She still slips a twenty into my coat pocket when I visit. I'm a grown adult with a mortgage. I've stopped fighting it. I'd miss it too much.
Más amor para mamá
- Mi mamá guardó cada carta que le escribí desde el servicio militar. Las tiene atadas con un listón azul.
- Mom's answer to everything was 'we'll figure it out.' Broken arm, broken heart, broken transmission. We always did.
- The woman can hear 'I'm fine' over the phone and know exactly which kind of not-fine it is.
- I watched her go back to school at 45, textbooks on the kitchen table next to my homework. We graduated the same spring.
