>never showed much interest in books, music etc
>retired last year
>has since been reading through all the books I left in boxes at home
>her enthusiasm for reading is so pure I feel bad for not enjoying reading that much these days
>she kept asking me if I was writing a book and said she could "never do that"
>picked up the hint and encouraged her to give it a go, without getting my hopes up
>tfw she sent me a story she wrote about two rabbits who become friends
>tfw it made me cry and feels more honest than anything I've written
How to cope with this feel bros?
I love my mum so much.
I have been trying to get my parents to write a book for 15 years. Foster parents of the year for the state. When we left for college, they did therapeutic foster care (almost unsaveable kids), and were great parents. To top it off, my mom was an English teacher. Just write it already! Probably too late.
