5、ew; she is still, primarily, our mother. Becoming aware of our mothers age, not just in number of years but in terms of her psychological and physical state, often helps us to understand her better.

6、r than we.

Her values may seem dated, but all the influences she
7、 had from her parents and peers have had an impact on the way she evolved as a person. It is unreasonable to expect her to change totally from the way she was brought up. Listen to Your Mother As we grow up, what our mother has told us often sounds not sophisticated enough for theworld we live in to
8、day. Yet I have found that sometimes the things my mother told me long ago are remarkably useful. So if your mother is still offering maxims (哲理 ) for your life, try to resist the temptation to reject them automatically.

10、is to find out about her early life. Sometimes, in learning about our mothers past, we can construct her story by piecing together what we learn about her upbringing (成长 )and her memories, and then, into this vision, placing our own observations of her.

13、d just the best time coming out with you.“ It was her last birthday. She died the following year. This memory is painful for me, because in trying to Do the right thing, I got wrong: I did not ask her what she wanted, but just did what I thought was best.

18、 his mother had on him were because of her like-minded friends and relatives. “There was always a lot of laughter in the house,“ he told me. “We had not only cousins, aunts and uncleS, but my mothers friends who were always passing through our house. I got my sense of humor from my mother, but these
19、 other people were a part of her world. It was just a joy when they drifted in.
