"Who is My Mother?"
If we look through picture albums we will discover snap shots of our childhood, young adulthood, advanced adulthood. We will be able to look at the way things were and the way things are and we will realize something about who we are and who our mother was to us.
For some of us our mother was a supportive presence. She was there for us. She watched us in our sport's games, our piano recitals, or dramatic portrayals, and our struggle for identity and clarity of self.
For some of us our mother was the impetus that propelled us into action. She goaded us and hassled us and irritated us until we began to realize she was right and we acted as she thought we should or we acted in a manner that was right for us against her wishes.
What about the person she was or is, in and of herself? What pleases her? What troubles her? What did she do when she discovered her limitations? How would she have lived her life if she had lived at a different time and place?
How do we get to know our mothers as human beings?
Who is your mother?
Do you know her?
