My Amazing Mom

I lived about an hour away from my mom’s, but I visited my mother often, especially when she turned ninety. Even though my brother and I had felt it was time for Mom to move in with one of us, she wouldn’t hear of it.

I remember one of my visits as if it were yesterday. Mom was ninety-six years old, and she had insisted on baking cookies for her great-grandsons’ birthday party. I had offered to make them for her, but she dismissed the thought. She wanted to contribute to the birthday party’s menu, just like she always had.

Mom had decided to bake cookies the following morning. I had suggested she wait until I arrived the next day, but she said she would be fine. So when I went grocery shopping, I made sure my mom had all the basic ingredients(食材) she needed for the morning. I placed them on the kitchen counter. And since it had been a handful of months since Mom had made her cookies, I decided to write the recipe out again. The original was pretty worn, and I wasn’t sure she would still remember all the ingredients and measurements. Before I left for home, I set the oven temperature to 350 degrees. All she had to do was turn it on in the morning.

When I arrived the next morning, I found her cookies were cooling in rows on the shelves. She had accomplished quite a lot that morning, and it was only nine o’ clock. However, Mom wasn’t happy. She told me the cookies tasted awful.

I blamed myself for not insisting that we bake them together. The disappointment on her face made it quite clear that Mom felt defeated, as if she had lost her purpose at the age of ninety-six, I looked at the cookies. They did appear flatter than usual and tasted awful. I assumed she had probably left out some ingredients. Maybe she didn’t read the recipe correctly.
