Cherish the Moments with Our Parents
There was something in an elderly woman’s behavior that caught my eye.Unsure of her steps,the woman moved slowly,along with a younger woman who I guessed was her daughter.The daughter was rolling her eyes and checking her watch every few seconds.
The older woman left the younger one and began to tick through the DVDs on the nearest shelf.Without hesitation,I walked over and asked if I could help her find something.The woman smiled at me and showed me a title on a piece of paper.
Rather than rush off to locate the DVD for the woman,I asked her to walk with me so I could show her where she could find it.Looking back,I think I wanted to enjoy her company for a moment.Her movements reminded me of my own mother,who had passed away the previous Christmas.
As we walked,the woman seemed glad of the unrushed company and casual conversation.We found the movie and she told me it was the one she’d enjoyed when she was her son’s age and that she hoped he would enjoy it as much as she had.Maybe,she said he could enjoy it with his own young children.
I accompanied her to the queue at the cashier.As the cashier put the DVD into a plastic bag,I went over to the younger woman,who was still tapping her foot at the front of the store.
“Is that your mom?”I asked.
I had expected her to tell me it was none of my business.But she rolled her eyes and said,“Yeah.”There was annoyance in her reply.Still watching the mother,I said,“Mind some advice?”
“Go ahead,”said the daughter.
I smiled to show her I wasn’t criticizing“Cherish her,”I said,“When she’s gone,it’s the little moments that’ll come back to you.Moments like this.I know.”
It was true.I missed my mom still and remembered with sadness the moments when I’d used my impatience to make her life miserable.
The elderly woman moved slowly back to her daughter.Together they made their way toward the store’s exit.They stood there for a moment,side by side,watching the rush of the holiday current.Then the daughter glanced over and slowly placed her arm with apparently unaccustomed affection around her mother’s shoulders and gently guided her home.
