The unexpected death of my father is still lingering on my mind. It was a shock to me and the pain and loneliness it caused is still there. Today, another life changing event is about to happen as my mother told us that she's retiring as a teacher after thirty five years of service. It came all of a sudden as I and my sister were shocked at what she told us this afternoon. We were stunned at what her decision and couldn't take it out our mind. We will be discussing everything when she returns to work in the evening.
I'm worry about the implications that may arise to this decision especially the loneliness that she may felt when she is alone. On the other hand, it may be for her own good. She's already old and may have some difficulties in handling a class with a large number of pupils. Add the fact that she has some history of being hospitalized due to being diabetic as well as anemic. She may want to retire to rest more and think about her health.
We want her to live longer and to be with us in a longer period of time. If this is what she thinks is right, then I don't have any objections. I only wish that she could return to the strong willed woman that she was.
