Why we love Mom
-
The woman can hear 'I'm fine' over the phone and know exactly which kind of not-fine it is.
More love for Mom
- Mi mamá guardó cada carta que le escribí desde el servicio militar. Las tiene atadas con un listón azul.
- She taught me that soft is not the same as weak. Softest person I know. Strongest person I know. Same person.
- 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.
- Grandma raised me when Mom couldn't, and Mom spent the rest of her life making it up to both of us. This wall is for both of them.
