Today is a dark day for me. Mother has passed away from old age, and I could not be with Mother at her last moments. I am overwhelmed with guilt and sadness.

I will be returning to Brandon for the funeral tomorrow, and arranging the domestic duties which must now fall onto Jessie’s shoulders. Although I love my family, I have already established a home for myself in Regina and won’t be able to take care of Robert. Lindsay will also be coming in from Toronto with her new husband.

It has been a while since I’ve corresponded with Lindsay. However, she recently wrote me a letter that makes me worry about her. According to her letter, she has been an illegal bootlegger for more than 5 years, transporting liquor from Canada to the United States.

Personal Narrative: Becoming A Mother

Coming from a Mexican family and being a female is a bit difficult. It is difficult when you have family that is waiting for you to “grow up” to become a mother. Some family members belief this is still a norm for a female to get married, have children, and stay home to take care of the family. Just because some of the women in my family became mothers at a young age, I did not want to become a mother, at least not yet. On (Not) Getting By in America by Barbara Ehrenreich, she wrote “Happily, though, my fears turn out to be entirely unwarranted: during a month of poverty and toil, no one recognizes my face or my name, which goes unnoticed and for the most part unuttered.…

Personal Narrative: Death Of My Mother

Losing someone so close to you can internally and externally break you. One day you could be having a normal conversation with that one person talking about something exciting that happened in your day and the next day, they are gone. I can relate to this to a tee because I have gone through this with my mom. In my freshman year of high school, she got really sick and had a seizure in her sleep. I was the one that had found her and I was the one that called the ambulance.…

Personal Narrative: How My Mother Changed My Life

I was born in San Francisco to a single mother, and I have never known anything different. My mother provided an incredible life for me, for which I am eternally grateful. At the age of eleven my mother decided it would be financially best to relocate to Casper, Wyoming, where she would have the help of her family to raise me. Although the move was extremely difficult for both of seeing that we created friendships and bonds with people that we would no longer see as often, my mother has never made a decision she didn’t think was best for both of us. My mother always puts my well-being first which has given me my love of helping others.…

Personal Narrative: My Mom

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.…

Telling my mother that I am a lesbian was the biggest accomplishment I ever did. When I was a kid, she would always scold me for acting boyish and playing with boy's toys. I had my first crush when I was in third grade. I could not tell anyone because I had a crush on a girl. For most of my life I had been a closed book.…

Personal Narrative: An Interview With My Mother

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.…

Personal Narrative: My Mother Daughter Relationship

My mother and I did not share a typical mother/daughter relationship. There was a time when we would not even speak and years would pass before I would even see her again. However, I would always see her when I looked into the mirror, since I looked just like her. I would hear her laugh because our laughs were identical, and small details we shared would remind me of the relationship I was missing, the relationship I felt everyone took advantage of. During my senior year all hope of a possible reconciliation would be lost.…

Personal Narrative: My Life As A Young Mother

I have had a lot of memorable events in my life, but having to be a really young mom at the age of 22, with three children has had to be one of my most memorable one. To some people being a parent maybe easy or say it’s easy, but I have been through so much, starting with my first pregnancy at the age 14. Here is how it has been for me as a young mom at the age of 22. When I first found out I was pregnant I was only 14 years old, I remember sitting at the doctor’s office with my mom waiting for the doctor to comeback in the office. When she finally walks in, the first thing she says to me and my mom is, "looks like you’re going to be a mom," I couldn’t believe it.…

Personal Narrative: My Mother My Story

My mother always told me I had a “bad” sense of humor. watching someone fall or slip or dive into pavement always has the ability to put me into tears (tears of joy of course). So if you are anything like my mother my story may not seem funny to you but if you are anything like me I hope you are spreading contagious laughter. It was the middle of football season so the weather was still warm but not warm enough that you could wear shorts comfortably. I was hanging out at my friends house and we were just talking about life.…
