Life, the Obstacle Course

Conversations with Empty Nesters

Passing of wisdom, from one generation to the next, translated…

When you think about mom, head home, talk wither.

Naturally, you’d needed a mom, who’s over twenty years older, or even, older, to carry on in conversations with.  Because no matter what stage of life you’re in, moms had already, lived through the stages, with everything they had when they were younger.

Toward the challenges in life, with her given qualities, maybe, it wasn’t, as much as what she’d, provided you with; she’d weathered through the hardships of life, those hardships, no longer, endowed to you.  After that, when the two of you had shared experiences, the life trials she’d weathered through from before, will become more useful to you, for instance, being a mom.

And so, starting in your twenties, you’d started, your trainings for adulthood, they may be happy, or upsetting, you’d forgotten about mom unconsciously; and, as you’d become someone’s mom too, when your child entered into this stage of life, it wasn’t odd, if they’d, thought about you instead, that was, what “empty nest” felt like, and you’d, finally, understood it.

And now, your mother of seventy is an elderly, but she’d kept her habit of putting the kids before herself, and, instead, the daughters in their fifties needed to, remind her, to “keep yourself happy, that, is what’s most important”.  And, the younger generations are, growing up even faster, approaching fifty, I’d heard the same words come from my twenty-year-old daughter what I’d once told her, so, I’m, a lucky woman.

I’m grateful, for how healthy my mother is, and now, my mother’s became like a counselor’s office, with any troubles in life, I’d returned here, have a conversation with mom, trying, to absorb some of her wisdoms, and, it’d, helped soothed the loneliness of her elderly years.  And I truly hope, that when I’d become elderly, I can be, just like her too.

So, this, is from someone who’s a daughter, AND a mother too, with the intertwining of these two significant roles of life, you’d gained more understanding of how to be who you’re supposed to be.
