What a lovely read this was. I love that you are delving into your mother's past this way--it feels like we as daughters should know our mothers best, but it's easy to think of them only in relation to ourselves rather than as multi-dimensional people who existed before they had children! Looking forward to hearing more of this story.
Thanks so much, Sam! I couldn’t agree more on the subject of mothers. I’m on a belated quest to get to know mine better through ancient letters, documents and, hopefully, a trip to her birthplace to walk in her footsteps. I hope to share more in the future.
I can't get enough of this beautiful story. I was hooked by the immigrant thread and surprised when your mother got her degree from SJSU, like me. It brought me home.
Wonderful story telling, as always. Love all of the pictures, especially the one of you and your mom and the one of your mom reading. Happy Mother's day dear Ruth!
I really enjoyed reading this piece!
Thanks, Mien!❤️

Thanks so much for reading and commenting. It was quite a long journey for my mom, but I think she was prouder of getting that degree than anything.
Such a beautiful remembrance and tribute to family, Ruth. A very happy Mother's Day to you
Thanks so much, Vicki! I hope you had a beautiful day!
