5 Surprising Things I’ve Learned Traveling With My Mother via LaurieJStone
– Since she was widowed two years ago, Mom and I have travelled many places, including Ireland, Florida, Kripalu Yoga Center in Stockbridge, MA and recently, Amherst, to see the Emily Dickinson museum. As I’ve learned, you don’t really know people, yes, even parents, till you travel with them.
Our last day, we ended up in a Galway pub. Its there we had our first Irish coffees together, a habit we brought back to the states. “I’ll have mine with Jamieson whiskey,” she told the waiter. I looked at her, eyebrows raised. I had no idea my mother got this specific about her Irish coffee. I realized then people never stop surprising us.– There we were this spring, lying on our mats in the famous Kripalu Yoga Center in Stockbridge, MA.
As always, we talk about everything. She’s deeply involved with her children, grandchildren, and extended family. I look at her and can’t help think how the later years are what we make of them. And yes, genes and health play a huge factor, but so does attitude.
