小8毛 is about my mother's age. There is a generation gap
between her and most of us here. I am a mother myself now and I just can't imagine how can a mother stop missing her kid for years and years. But I know my mother can. Maybe comparing to the starvation and death and feeling of insecure, not being able to be together is really not a big deal as long as she knows the kid is not starving and sick. Emotional needs, what is it, and why, I gave you life and food and cloth? It's time for you to pay me back.
