Every Family Needs a Mother
In my young age on the regular basis, I remember the time when my mother to waked my brother and me up prepares us for school. There, we head to our kitchen where our mother is cooking us hot breakfast. Then here came my father who grabbed a piece of Chinese pancake, kissed my mother, and head off to work. We kissed our mother and trotted off to our school bus, heading to our school. When the school was done for the day, my brother and I were so excited to come home, seeing our dinner waiting that prepared by our mother. My mother would normally helps my brother and I on our homework before we spend our leftover free time with board games. This is the average day in my life of a family. The family structure is commonly thought to consists a father, mother, brother, sister, and perhaps family dog, but everything changes when a loved one was take out of the picture.
When my mother passed away at my young age, the loss was the most traumatic experience. Mothers play an important role in the family structure. When taken out of the picture, the dynamics of a motherless family brings hardships, such as create emotional distress, no sense of normality, and bring less devoting time to the rest of the family members. Without a mother, the household deeds are not done, emotional support is not there and the family finds itself in a situation that there is a void in need to fill.
The lost of my mother in my family take the toll in the household deed responsibilities. There isn’t anyone in my family to meet the responsibilities of cooking to because my father is working while my brother and I struggle to find time with school and cooking. I ended up cooking for my family, because I find it easier to learn basic cooking skills from my father and relatives in my free time over the weekend. Sometimes, my brother and I take turns each other to cook for our family. But when we didn’t get the chance, our father would normally take us out to eat at a restaurant. I

    A mother can impact lives greatly. Could you imagine growing up without a mother? You can either be very lucky with a mother that cares for you or be deprived of that sense of love from a mother figure. It is inhumane to destroy any kind of maternal bond because mothers are not people to depend on, but are people to make depending not required.…

    Losing someone close to you can feel like losing a part of yourself. A piece of you goes missing. Imagine living your life with them there and then having them ripped away from you. It really is as horrible as it sounds. In “The Unmothered” Ruth Margalit explains her experience of losing her mother to cancer. She tells about what it’s like on certain days of the year such as, her mother’s birthday, the day her mother was diagnosed with cancer, and her parent’s anniversary. She also gives some memories she has of her mother and what her mother taught her. I, like Ruth, also lost my mom to cancer so I was really able to connect with this article. I also dread certain days of the year but unlike the author I see my mother’s death in a very different way.…

    Gary Soto Swot Analysis

    Unlike Gary Soto in “Looking for work.” I didn’t look to the television to imitate what my idea of a family was. My family included my mother, my brother and my sister and that was enough for me. I never really focused on not having a dad around; it wasn’t as important as having our mom, who was always there for us. Many people believe that to be a productive family there needs to be two parents in the household. However, I know different. My mother was both parents and did just fine as a single mother raising and supporting three kids all by herself. Mom was the nurse that made me feel better whenever I got sick. She was teacher, because she taught me to read and to write. She cared and loved me but also punished…

    The way a family works has changed in the last decade or two. Back when this generations parents were kids and even when their parents were young, it is very different than young people today. A perfect example would be the television show “Leave it to Beaver”, which aired in 1957. It was about the Cleavers, an All American Family, trying to keep their youngest son Theodore “Beaver” out of trouble. He always finds his way into trouble, at the end of the episode his parents always help him by giving him advice an good life lessons. That show represents how families were close and protected each other. Now, in the 21st century, many families and even communities…

Consequently, when my mother was entering the United States she had lost one of her shins, and for a short time was disable until, she finally got help from a friend who contacted her doctor and donated a prosthetic leg. Even through trouble times my mother never let nothing get to her, so right away she got up and found her first job at a local restaurant that didn't require any social security or to speak the english language, yet in effect it didn't pay so well. Thereupon, our lives wasn't like an average Joe. Our home was a size of shoe box only four walls, one large bed, a sink, toilet, and a small gas stove all in one room, yet my mother never shed light how small our home was but how bless we are so we all stayed faithful. When it was time for school my mother couldn't always afford us to buy us new clothes, so we went shopping at the flea market or garage sales. As the school year ended families were heading to summer vacation and going out of town. Unfortunately since our financial standing we never had the chance to pleasure summer vacation. However, I didn't mind not having an average summer vacation, because my version of summer was staying back with my mother listening…

    My parents got divorced when I was 12 and I thought my life had come to an end. My mom left my younger brother and sister and me with my father in a huge house and took her Home Interior with her. A selfish 12-year-old, I wondered how Christmas would be with only one income and who would bake cookies before I came home from school. But it was not long before I realized that my mom took more than her silk flowers and ceramic owls. She took our favorite tutor, our maid to clean up after us and our mother to give us our daily support and comforting. Suddenly, all of these roles were to be replaced by me. Of course I wanted to help my father ease into his new role as Mr. Mom, but I never wanted to become a very young mother of two.…

    “I am a sixth-generaton Iowan and an engineering student at the University of Iowa and I was raised by two women. My biological mom, Terry, told her grandparents that she was pregnant, that the artificial insemination had worked, and they wouldn’t even acknowledge it. It wasn’t until I was born and they succumbed to my infantile cuteness that they broke down and told her that were thrilled to have another grandson. Unfortunately, neither of them lived to see her marry her partner Jackie of 15 years when they wed in 2009... I guess the point is our family really isn’t so different from any other Iowan family. You know, when I’m home we go to church together, we eat dinner, we go on vacations.”…

    Motherless daughters have trouble thinking mentally. When losing a mother, at any age, can and will be difficult and painful, “our loneliness and vulnerability becomes painfully clear” (Garson). It is difficult to mourn with the loss of a parent, especially a mother, and the pain becomes obviously clear to the public, even if she doesn’t want the public to know about her personal story. Also, when a daughter has to go through the loss of her mother, it is extremely hard to ignore the issues of maturing. In a normal life cycle, girls struggle against their mother’s holding them close to break away and become an independent individual, if the mother dies during this time, the memories of a loving relationship of many years may be reduced to the most memorable fights. There is no chance to say, “I’m…

    My Life as a Parent

    My mother, Joyce, was a single parent which forced her to work a lot of hours at Veteran’s Administration Hospital as a ward clerk in Van Nuys, California. I, Kimberly at the age of 11, was put in a position to be a parent before I even was one myself. My childhood was ripped away from me due to me having to babysit and do household chores for my younger sister, Tiffany, while our mother provided a living for us both. I remember some of the good old times when Sunday would come for church and we would get up then start our normal daily routine. I would have to cut up several whole chickens and peel ten lb. bags of potatoes, so that we would have dinner for the congregation after church service. My mother Joyce would make batches of golden fried chicken that was very mouthwatering when you’d bite into it the meat it would fall off the bones. Now the potato salad was so scrumptious that you would be licking your fingers and that was so good that I still make the traditional fried chicken and potato salad ‘til this day. Now I had my first son, Corey, at 14 years old, Ryan 16, Jasmine 18, Darin 20, Ochea 24, and Trevon 26. I am a proud mother of six beautiful and healthy children which they all have their own personalities, but that’s another whole chapter because every child is unique in their own way.…

    When my Uncle Yaakov died, it affected my mother more than it did me, but it was how my mother reacted that impacted me. Once we heard the news that my Uncle Yaakov died in a car crash in Detroit while traveling for the Rebe...my mother let out this long, angstful wail and the wail still rings in my ears to this day. My mother went into a deep depression; she became this whole new person. At age 6, I did not understand why my mother went from taking walks with me, reading the Torah to me, and tucking me into bed at night, to never getting out of bed, never eating, and never speaking to anyone anymore. I would ask my father questions about my mother. “Papa, why…
