I did a quick bit of math. I go home to see her twice a year. The average American woman lives to be seventy-six. If that was how it went for her, I might see my mom only twelve more times. It is a quaking discovery to watch “Mom"-Jedidiah Jenkins, Mother, Nature: A 5,000-Mile Journey to Discover if a Mother and Son Can Survive Their Differences

"I wondered about my friendship with my mom. Is it friendship? How can it be? Friendship is chosen. Friendship is discovered. But a mother and a son have a bond that is necessary. If the son exists, the mother exists. She may have abandoned him, she may have abused him, she may have loved him and laughed with him. But no matter what, there is a relation that must be accounted for. So how could it be friendship? What does friendship with a parent mean?"-Jedidiah Jenkins, Mother, Nature: A 5,000-Mile Journey to Discover if a Mother and Son Can Survive Their Differences
