One day I woke up in the middle of the night.
i felt something strange so checked my phone to see if there was something happening.
I found a few messages from my friend asking me for some help with her son who was traveling close by and had an incident. Things were solved, but then I remembered how we met
I actually met her son first, and then she said he talked so much about me that she wanted to meet me. That is how I stayed at her house for a few days and became friends.
This reminded me of another student, who also introduced his mother to me before leaving for Mexico.
After we became good friends my friend told me she had been in a strong depression and that one day her son arrived home very happy. He told her: “I just met the person that will help you elevate your spirit again!!! She’s going to make you enjoy life again and smile”
I was really touched when I heard that, and I think that was the same situation with my other friend.
In Japan it is said that boys choose their mother , the same way girls choose their father. I personally think my son was really sent to me for a very special reason.
I wrote a book about the relationship with my father. This morning I was thinking I didn’t write about his relationship with his mother.
Yesterday at a conference there was an anecdote shared concerning people who think that because one person is single , doesn’t understand what it is to live married.
I remember my father told us his father was abusive to his mother and didn’t work. He was always playing and gambling in the town.
When his father was hitting his mother and he saw that, he would get in between and confronted him. Telling him he would regret doing that and that he was to protect his mother.
Maybe that is the reason he raised us showing us how to make business and encouraged us to travel abroad no matter the gender.
I have also been protected by my son in a few occasions. I now understand how we as mother’s think we are protecting them, but maybe is them who came to help us become stronger. I think there is a special unconditional love bond that we should never underestimate
