Since it's mother's day...
I don’t remember how old I was, but I was talking about graduations with my mom, I guess I was about to start kindergarten.
My mom told me that surely when I was graduating from high school she was going to be very old and ugly, and that she would be ashamed to be seen. My mom has always been very coquettish, I promise she was the one who said she wouldn’t want/ be able to appear in public.
The idea of thinking about such an “important” event in my life (imagine how big the world looked at 5 years old) and that my mom wouldn’t be there, terrified me. That my mother would be so old that she couldn’t accompany me… I would even dare to say that it was the first time I realized that one day my mom might not be there… but with my ingenious innocence as a child, I told my mom “don’t worry mommy… I’ll even put you under a chair…”
Since then, my mother only tells the story of how I wanted to put her under a chair for my graduation, and I’m just so happy that no chair is needed and that she can still accompany me on the paths of this world where she, along with my father, put me.
