As a Daughter, As a Mother
I am not a holiday person, even if it is Mother's Day. So today, I acted nothing different than any other day. I did in fact think about calling my Mom. But I didn't know what to say to her when it comes to expressing my feelings for her. My parents and I don't have an intimate way of connecting to each other. That's because, primarily, they have always been such an item to each other. I admire my mother. Only she never knew how much I do.
My mother DID work hard or make sacrifice, but not as much as she is so ready and willing to. With an extremely low-maintenance daughter like me, she basically just watched me grow and heaped a mother's pride along the way.
My mother is a one-man woman who met my father when she was only 15 years old. They fell in love and unfolded their stories with no less sweetness than in any sweet story books. But theirs is much less dramatic and therefore with little conflicts. That's probably why she still finds any cheap soap opera entertaining. She sobs at any episode that has a little plot to draw tears.
My mother is a very powerful career woman. She used to be a tax beauru chief in a city of 5 million population. Now she runs a consultation firm to give tax advice. But she always finds time to practice boardroom dance and play mah-jong. She loves fine clothes, good food and any pampering services.
My mother has a lot of exceptionally good qualities that are attached to a mother. What stands out most is her luck in the matters of love and life. The luck made her virtually unscathed going through life and even innocent at the same time.
So sometimes I see my daughter Sienna in my mother and see my mother in my daughter Sienna. No wonder they are astrologically very similar in both east and west systems: water sign sun (feminine, intuition), earth sign moon (psychologially sturdy and calm). And they were both born in snakes year giving them good tastes, material aboundance and of course good luck.
On the mother day, to my mother as a daughter and to my daughter as a mother, I make my wish that luck will always keep them the way they are.
