My mother’s little speech made a few cry harder than they all ready were but they were crying because they were happy. It made me feel happy to see a smile in the room.
After the funeral my mother and I drove to my grandmother’s house. In her will it was noted that my mother and I can live in my grandmother’s house if we liked to. My mother agreed to move into my grandmother’s. My mother jumped at the offer. I think it was mostly because once my grandmother won the lottery and she paid off her mortgage. Also my mother couldn’t wait to get out of the busy city that we both lived in. My mother had grown up in the country but then had to move to the city to find employment. It broke her heart that she would have to leave her mother but she knew that it was all for the best. Although, she dreaded the city as soon as she set eyes on the view. She hated that people were always so rude, how the only scene of nature was between the cracks on the sidewalk or in the flower shops. My mother adored nature in the summer she would collect all the dandelions on her way to work, she knew that they are weed but she missed nature so much it didn’t matter what it was weed or flower. Anyways when she had me she hated the city even more so because she believed that it was no place for a child to grow up in. I really didn’t mind it because really who doesn’t love spotting Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Orlando Bloom and other stars in the streets once or twice and if you’re lucky you can get their autograph! But being the only other person for my mother to talk to I just agreed with her, which seemed to keep her content. So as I was walking towards the house all I could hear was my mother screaming I knew it! I knew that we would return to the country! Then she said to me “Now you, you will learn how to really live!”
