My mother who was usually with me never needed to speak much to me. Sometimes she talks to for hours on how to follow participate in the activities of the community .The memory we both shared was attending some occasion in the community like marriage ceremony, burial and the memories we shared still remains in me and I will not forget to be always participating in those activities my mother used to make me participate.
