Audrey NiffeneggerI sit quietly and think about my mom. It's funny how memory erodes, If all I had to work from were my childhood memories, my knowledge of my mother would be faded and soft, with a few sharp memories standing out.
About This Quote
The phrase "I sit quietly and think about my mom" refers to the sense that we always remember our mothers in a positive light. We all have a happy and positive memory of our mother in our mind and feel that they were a great influence on us. This is because of the fact that we always remember them as being good. And, when we think about them, we always get a sense of comfort from it.
In this quote, the speaker refers to his childhood memories of his mother, which are very fond and make him feel warmly towards her. This is because he thinks that all he has to work with is his childhood memories, which are soft and fuzzy and therefore would not serve him well in life today.
