i dont' think i am a good daughter. I am very close to my parents, at least from my heart. yet marriage and distance creates some gaps between us. I enjoy talking with my parents, especially my mom on the phone, or i'd always wish to go back each year to see them. just walking on the street or shopping together, or sitting at the dinner table. all the details of life makes the memory unforgettable. mom likes to tell me that she is always missing me, and she loves me deeply. i am kind of feeling awkward when she says so. yet who knows if i would be the same when it comes to my time to my dear daughter. i feel so bad last time we were in Flushing, and i saw a 40 some holding hands with her 70 some mom walking on the street.. so sweet and warm to me. we kind of miss/forget about the parents' love in our 20s when the romantic love kicked in our life.. it certainly overshadowed the parental love for some time. it comes back when we are parents ourselves, and romance fades away.
