Why we love Mom
-
Mi mamá guardó cada carta que le escribí desde el servicio militar. Las tiene atadas con un listón azul.
More love for Mom
- The woman can hear 'I'm fine' over the phone and know exactly which kind of not-fine it is.
- 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.
- She taught me that soft is not the same as weak. Softest person I know. Strongest person I know. Same person.
- Mom's answer to everything was 'we'll figure it out.' Broken arm, broken heart, broken transmission. We always did.
