Sometimes she falls into this isolating depression and you can see it in her eyes how miserable and helpless she feels. You have never seen her cry, but you know she has been because of her swollen eyes and her trembling voice. And when you ask, she says she has had a cold or flu. She unconsciously resists every kind of affection from others, tries to show strong, independent and determined to the choices she made. And yet, she sits there just staring in front of a stupid reality TV show, to kill time, but you know deep inside she's travelling to the thousand thoughts of loneliness. She always has a smile for you that lights up her eyes, a kind word of support and a hand of help when you urge into the room complaining about your everyday problems and trivial needs. She is there to cook you food when you come back from long nights out, iron your clothes when you 're in a hurry for a date, give you some extra money when you have spent all your salary. She has never fallen in love, never been really happy with the man she chose to live with but yet, has so much love to give unconditionally. She is the strongest person in the world, but she never fought for her own happiness. She deserves every good in the world, but never pursued it for herself. She is your mother.

Wow Katerina, I think you wrote that about my own mother! love, Evgenia.
