#3 Agreeing to Accept and Move On

This article is about a mother and a daughter relationship. It is about a mom who was suffering from an incurable cancer and didn't have many days left. Because she didn't have much days left to live, before dying she wanted to see her daughter get married. For days and days her mom annoyed her by asking if she had found a guy or by presenting a guy to her. Despite her mom being annoying, she liked the bond that she had with her mom, and understood why her mom was doing this to her. One day she meets a guy, Matt, and her mom gets excited and wants her to get married when she realizes that Matt was not the one. She realizes that he is not the one when her mom gets really sick, and is in a crucial state of cancer; Matt has no words to say neither to her nor to her mother. When her mom was nearly dying, her mom tells her that she won’t be disappointed or upset if she didn’t get married, and that she accepts her daughter for who she is. At first she didn’t understand why her mother was telling her that, but after she realized that is was a way for her to let go of the things.

In this article, Elizabeth Koother, the author of this article tells her personal story. There are no specific messages or moral for the readers, but just a story of her experience, and it seems like it was written to entertain rather than to inform. She uses more informal language so she can engage with the readers, and so the readers won’t get caught by some vocabulary. She kept the story very simple, sweet, and short so the reader could read until the end without getting bored.
