mom's bananas

Since I dreamt of my mother and our banana adventure, I kept playing that scene in my head over and over again. One reason is, it calms me. Also, I want to make sense of the situation. Why banana? Why not apple or mango? On her birthday the other day, I thought of this dream again. Then I remembered I used to accompany her to the doctor for her Wednesday checkups then. One time, we passed by the market place and she stopped to buy a lot of bananas, the kind that I eat. Then we rode on the front seat of the jeepney. I can feel how happy she was that day. She was so warm. And we held hands all those time. I didn’t bother about anything that moment; not even a single thought in my mind but the feeling of contentment beside my mother. That is one of the happiest memories of everyday life with her.

Today, I always buy bananas whenever possible. And for some reason, my favorite spot in any ride is the front seat. I guess I may not be aware of it, but it’s still her.
