AN ENIGMATIC AND POIGNANT JOURNEY AROUND MY AGEING AND EVOLVING MOTHER! PART 71.
She complains, but not with the same strong and unyielding tone. I sense that she is now more malleable.
Of course, pleasing as this apparently new phase in my dear mother's journey through life, which also impacts my own life's journey, is.
What would be even more pleasing and satisfying, would be to hear my dear mother signing the praises of her stalwart and loyal careworkers.
Primarily these two women who have been working with or for her for the past several years.
Two women who, although they have, in some respects, been brought up and inhabiting very different worlds from that of my dear mother and I.
Have come to love her and respect her, and who, though they might, like most people, not always do everything perfect and to the very high, if not improbable expectations of my dear mother.
Have consistently expressed their love and devotion to serving her. As if, as they have consistently commented, she was their own mother. As if she is a member of their family.
To be continued!
