I love my mom, she actually is getting softer as she gets older, but she was raised in a very very cold British family, her mother was Head Mistress at a girls school and interacted with her children as if they were her wards. I don’t remember hugs and kisses or giggling or playing silly, even to this day, she doesn’t say she loves me, it’s just a given…...but with my daughter, we hug and kiss and say we love each other several times a day. I haven’t been the best for awhile, but I’m getting better and as she is becoming a teen…..well, time goes fast I want her to remember good things. My mom is trying to. Maybe she to realizes time is moving fast.
