It was a challenge when i first started interviewing my mom, because she answered very vaguley. She would say something like, “my mother’s name is______ and this happened_____but you remember that don’t you.” There were several times where I had to remind her to talk to me as if the newspaper was doing a segment on her and I was this stranger who needed to know every detail. So as she got in the habit of reminding herself the interview went even smoother. While she shared things such as, her earliest memories with her siblings and even the history of our family. I couldn’t help but try to relate her the memories that she shared. Like when she was talking about how growing up she was really close with her older sister Carol and how she went everywhere with her and had cute “inside jokes,” that they’re pretty much best friends. I couldn’t help but think about my oldest sister and my relationship, that it’s the same as theirs. Another time she shared about when she went on her first date with my dad. She wasn’t never so upfront about how old she was when she met my dad and about my dad’s past and when she told me that they walked on the beach and that their first kiss was in a cavern. I just got such a better understanding of their love and how it started and it made me appreciate my parents more.
