My mother was a busy working woman who was in charge of a big company when I was young. In my memory, she was always on business trips and hardly had time with my family. It was mostly my father who took care of my daily life and saw my growth. Unfortunately, my father suffered from an incurable cancer 20 years ago. Right after his death, I moved 2000 miles away to New York city and started my own family and career. When I moved back near my hometown five years ago, I promised myself that I would spend more time with mom, a 75 year old lady, who had lived alone since my father died. But with the demands of my job and three kids, I never got around to seeing her much beyond family get-togethers and holidays.
She was surprised and doubtful, then, when I called and suggested the two of us go out to dinner. “What’s wrong?” she asked. My mother thought anything out of the ordinary signals bad news. “I thought it would be nice to spend some time with you,” I said. “Just two of us,” “I’d like that a lot.” She replied.
As I drove to her house, I was actually nervous. What would we talk about? What if she didn’t like the restaurant I chose. When I pulled into her driveway, she was waiting by the door with her coat on. Her hair was curled, and she was smiling. “I told my lady friends I was going out with my son, and they were all impressed,” she said as she got into my car. “They can’t wait to hear about our evening.”
