Personal Narrative: A Mother's Life

Improved Essays
Today, I learned that life can be cruel, and can take away anyone in a moment of time. Watching mothers’ life leave her eyes was the most heartbreaking experience ever. My 18th birthday is just a few days away and she was not able to live long enough to see me grow a little bit older. My father has left again he is in search of a new wife someone to take care of me. Hopefully she will be kind and caring. My mother knew one thing that will never change; I have more love and compassion in my fingertips then most have in their entire body. I believe that is true and I will never be unkind or unloving to anyone ever. Seeing my mother die has hurt me, but I don’t feel lonely, it is like she is still with me. Hopefully father returns soon...
My father has finally returned, and he has brought back a woman with him, she is soft in the face and she has two daughters. I have always wanted sisters, and now I have two. They are beautiful, and posed. My new stepmother seems to love him from the way she is acting, but I cannot see much from the upstairs window.

She laughs and so do my step-sisters and out the door they go. Suddenly, I hear another tiny voice tell me to go out back, and shake the tree in the center of the back yard. I do as I am

    Mom was small, a slight 110 pounds but through my eyes, she was large, even after my height surpassed hers. To this day, she would argue that she weighed only 100. Her strong presence claimed her space, and anyone else's that she cared to. Being right was of utmost importance to her, and she made sure always to have the last word. Overbearing, and overprotective of me, her only child, she usually controlled every situation, regardless of how trivial.…

    I hate Christmas because nothing is phenomenal. I am not being facetious. I assume that Santa was busy and remiss when he forgot to give me a Christmas gift. Every time I saw other children play with their new toys by looking through the translucent window, I consternated about Christmas, and felt disconsolate. It is a paradox that a rich country should be so many poor people.…

    She insisted that I detain myself in the room where technology tightens my knowledge of the outside world and kills the function of my eyesight, brain, and lungs.

    She was very hurtful with words. Things didn’t get any better as I got older. The way she used to verbally abuse me scared me for life. It affected my self-esteem, my relationship with others, including other family members and friends so I developed trusting issues. She always taught me how not to trust anyone, to never let any friends in, not to…

    When I first learned of this assignment my first thought was to interview my mom. She is the one person in my life I am closest to. Since we are only twenty three years apart, I thought it would be best to focus on her life up to the point where she decided to have kids. Though I knew most of what she told me it was still nice to just sit and talk about her life experiences. My mother was born to older parents and was the youngest of three children.…

    Overall she usually stays calm, but she screams at me sometimes. She gets angry when I don’t do as she asks. 2 years earlier: I squirm in my seat on the park bench and wonder what my life would be like if I was like them; if only I was like the other kids in my neighborhood. Would it be easier if these voices didn’t follow me around? Would my parents have kept me?…

    On a spring evening of 2010 my parents had decided to take my brother, sister, and I with them to the residence of their friends, entailing that we will have a bonfire and we will hang out and have fun for the evening. It had seemed strange that it was such a positive advertisement as no less than a half an hour ago they were scurrying to find us a babysitter. Reluctantly we agree and we enter the car and commence a car-ride. We arrived at the end of a wooden enclosure to be subject to a house that smelt of liquor and unwashed laundry, surrounded by a lawn battered in cigarette butts and clutter.…

    At the age of eight, my grandmother’s mother died from a car crash while she was taking a bus home from work. At last, she did not know what to do with her life. She felt so emotionally stressed and just did not know how to take a next step forward. At this point, I realized at how lucky to be to have both my parents while growing up, and keeping in thought how hard it was for her to go through this. She was then taken under the care of her grandma for finishing primary school.…
