Why we love Mom
-
Mom's answer to everything was 'we'll figure it out.' Broken arm, broken heart, broken transmission. We always did.
More love for Mom
- I watched her go back to school at 45, textbooks on the kitchen table next to my homework. We graduated the same spring.
- 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.
- Every birthday she tells me the story of the night I was born, and every year the snowstorm gets a little worse. Never stop, Mom.
- Mi mamá guardó cada carta que le escribí desde el servicio militar. Las tiene atadas con un listón azul.
