RE: Mother Kitchen | Monday #FreeWrite Prompt
Thank you so much for your beautiful comment. It's good to know people with similar backgrounds and experiences.
Our elders' generation was unique. In my case, I doubt my generation will honor their legacy.
For one thing, they were the center and balance of the family. They knew how to keep everyone in check. Today I breathe conflicts and disunion around family members and they don't seem to care. With the crisis it has been hard to keep family traditions alive and that has contributed to family dismemberment.
It will take another generation to recover our past customs and traditions.
My granny always been the head of the family. They all listened to her. As she passed away the whole family broke up. Fights, envy, divorces and emigrated to different parts of the world. No bond, no responsibilities for each other.
I try to teach it to my children. To keep them close and tell them they only have each other. I hope that will bring value to their lives.
It is a strange thing. So many complain about it, lack of help, interest, a bond, being lonesome but if it comes to it nobody wants to invest in someone else. We are too busy (but have time for hours tv and internet).
