What does love look like? I would like to offer my humble
suggestion:
What, you might ask, does this used pasta container have to
do with love? Well, it was a going away offering from my mother. It says a lot
about her and the nature of love. For starters, love is about actions, not just
words. When Brendan went to visit my parents, before we left for the east coast,
my mom gave him that package, full of cookies. At 86, she is still baking and
we sure were glad that she took the time and effort to bake for us. We happily
munched on those gems as we drove on and on.
The container is an example of
Mom’s thriftiness. She is the original recycler, a common sense person who does
not like to throw out anything that might be re-used. Her lessons on recycling and caring are remembered and practised by all of us in the family. Thanks Mom.
