When I was ten, my mother called me “ah girl” and I had
always responded to her. When I was fifteen, my mother
called me “ah girl” in front of my classmates and I scolded
her. When I was twenty, my mother still called me “ah girl”
aloud and I ignored her completely. I know that, from her
point of view, no matter how old I am, I will always be the
“ah girl” who calls her “mama”.
From my point of view, my mother is just an old woman in the
house who lives with me. Her responsibilities are to make
breakfast for me in the morning, give me money to spend in
the day, do the laundry in the evening and switching off the
lights at night. For all those things that she did, she will
have the authority to scold me or ground me.
Until one day, she calls me and says, “Ah girl, I’ve got
cancer. I may die within the next six months.”
That is when I realize that my mother is more than that.
