My mother and I

Yesterday was Mother’s Day, but the relationship between my mother and I is over 30 years.

When I was a little girl, I always followed my father, I prefer my father much better. As time goes by, the time flies, the memory of childhood is blurring and I could not see it clearly now, I know my mother is not a good mother when I was little, but I choose to forgive her that means forgiving myself.

She has retired over ten years, her life is not easy, she changed into another person who has the same appearance but totally different personality. Since then, I chose to come back her side and tried a lot of ways to improve her life, such as: talk with her, stay with her, walk with her, travel and go to different places to see more people, my old and new friends. She became a little girl with a sensitive heart and didn’t want to go out, did not dare to speak with strangers, even couldn’t go out of her room.

In recent ten years, we experienced a lot, but the things get better and better,she can talk now, she likes to follow me all the time, therefore, I do my best to work and try to find more opportunities to let her walk out and communicate with people. Fortunately, I can work by myself and let her go with me during my working time.

This year, I find that I depend on her much more and when we live together, we both get much higher quality life and enjoy stay together. And when she lives with me, she is more capable to do more things by herself like bathing, cleaning,sleeping on time, eat on time, walk out of house more.

At the beginning, most people would think I sacrifice something to accompany my mother, in fact, I get more from her, she talks less and she gives more support.She would like to do things to help my daily life, and I accept it, let her do more things is good for her life.

The day before yesterday, I cannot get into sleep because I felt extremely anxious,she said to me “Go outside and walk around, think nothing, just walk.” That really works and helps me to get out of the pressure.

Mother is not a trouble, but a treasure,I appreciate that I can have a mother, a warm-hearted mother, a common mother,a little mot her needed me. I also need you indeed.

Thanksfor your companion.

Mother.

How lucky I am!
