Coming home again

When reading stories and having to pick a topic for them never comes easy for me. Although this week things have changed for the better. Knowing I wanted to write about the story “Coming Home Again”. It automatically made me realize how much this young man’s mother had such an impact on who he has become today. It made me think about how much my parent have a impact on who I am today, and did they have that much of an impact on me? Think about when people say “you are just like your mother/father”. Do you agree with them or do you believe that you have devolved your own unique personality all on your own?

When reading this story from start to finish you feel welcomed in to this family’s home. To me hearing about warm family cooked food and good ol’ family made tradition dishes makes me feel at home. Mostly because I have them passed down in my family and we always have a girl in the kitchen cooking. I love cooking all kinds of things perfected dishes and homemade recipes. I’m sure that this boy felt the same way with his family.

In this story I would like to believe that this son had developed a personality from his parents but also being sent away for so long he has developed a lot without his family and mostly without his mother. So coming home again to spend some of the last moment his mother has with her. Bonding and being able to relate with her on a level that he was never able to do. So I would like to image that he took up learning and sharing her recipes to relate with her. So she will be eternally remembered by her family.

Reading about what this young boy did was really courageous. Not only was he there for his mother but he also was there for her when she went him away for so long. Some people never forgive even with family. Though even though he was upset he never got to cherish an extra ten years with his mother, he saw that she was upset that she thought she would have had more time with her family. To be put in that situation would be very hard for me to handle and see my mother or father on that position but it’s a part of life, and has a strong person for going about it the way he had.

In Addition, this story has made me reflect on myself as a individual and where I have developed my own unique traits. I can tell exactly some of my key traits from both of my parents. My mother is very stubborn and that maybe just a little bit has been rubbed off on me. Also my father is very giving and kind. I like to think that I got my ability to relate to people from my dad and my ability to always be smiling. I have devoted hobbies of my own likening from my unique personality I like to think. To me everyone developed who they are by whom they are raised by and their lifestyle. We all have a little bit of the people we love in us.
