Recommended: What influences of family to your development

I was probably thinking that I had no mom. I’m guessing the reason why I thought like that is my grandmother brought me up after the first birthday. According to my mom, I had sometimes visited my parents’ home, but suddenly I said I wouldn’t go back to my grandma’s house when I was four years old. Mom needed grandma’s helps more, but grandma left me behind and I started to live with my family again. I think that moment was the moment that I realized the woman who visited me two or three times a week was my mom.
In fact, I couldn’t remember about what happened to me, I just remembered my mom as a perfect mom, a perfect mentor, and a perfect best friend.
She was a perfect mom. When I was a little girl, mom seemed not to like something. Mom always gave me and my big brother delicious parts of food like strawberries, melons, and fried chicken drumsticks first, so we asked her if you don’t like that kinds of delicious parts. She answered no all the time; we couldn’t understand how people didn’t like fried drumsticks. At that moment young, naive, and trusting as I was, I believed that she said, but who didn’t like that? Of course, we didn’t believe her lies any more when we grew up enough to understand, but her highest priority was always us. She always said “I’m feeling full and satisfied every time I see you are eating something delicious. It’s totally true. Every mom does that.” Afterwards we needed to declare her that we wouldn’t eat if she didn’t eat first, or beg her not to make us ungrateful children. On the other hand, she was a good listener. When I was old enough to go to preschool, we moved into a new town. On the way to move, I saw some preschool that caught my fancy in a car. So mom took me over to the preschool next day....

... middle of paper ...

...he made me keep my chin up even though the world was not tolerant toward me. The time we spent together made us best friends. These days we still spent time to talk far into the night on the weekend I went parents’ home.
Mom often said she felt proud of me. When she did, I answered her that I was really happy because I had wonderful mom. Also, she didn’t have a best friend before, for that reason she always thought about when I was all grown up enough to be a friend to her. She was saying she was happy because she had a best friend to talk with. In addition, she said even though I was her daughter, there was something that she could learn from me in the middle of talking with each other. It’s pretty awesome that we know and trust each other in our bones, divide and share our thoughts honestly, and have a strong commitment to each other. We’re a match made in heaven.

  • Eulogy for Mother

    2087 Words  | 5 Pages

    I, of course, knew my mother as a mother. As I have reached adulthood and become a mother myself, I have also known her as a friend. My mom shared much of herself with me, and I saw sides of my mother as she struggled with her cancer that I had never seen before, especially her strong belief in positive thinking and the importance of quality of life. I was privileged to know so many facets of my mother, but certainly I did not know all. There were parts of her life that I didn’t see, relationships that I didn’t know about. Last night, at the wake, so many stories were told to me about my mom’s strength, courage, humor, kindness, her quietness, her loyalty as a friend. It was so special to hear of these things that my mom said and did, to know some of these other parts of her life. I hope that her friends and family will continue to share these stories with me and with each other so we can continue to know and remember my mom.

    Summer was coming to an end, the night air grew brisker and the mornings were dew covered. The sun had just started to set behind our home; my father would be home soon. I walked into the kitchen only to be greeted by my mother cooking dinner. She stood there one hand on her hip, her one leg stuck out at her side, knee slightly bent, stirring the pot holding the spoon all the way at the tip of the handle. She looked as pissed off as could be. My mother always felt she could be doing a million other things besides cooking dinner. We sat there talking until I heard a familiar soft rumble in front of our house. The rumble was accompanied by my father fidgeting at the front door. His old noisy Bronco always made his presence known. He plodded down the hallway into the kitchen to greet my mother with a peck on the cheek. After one more quick stir she plopped a hot pad on the table followed by a pan of sliced meatloaf in sauce. The smell of the meat, potatoes, and veggies filled the kitchen instantly and the family gathered around the table. The meal was a typical one in our household, my mother who had a million other things to do that day, including having her own personal time did not feel like cooking a twelve course meal. However, my father who always came home expecting steak did not see the meal as appetizing as the rest of us.
