My Cousin is My Other Mother [6]
Very sweet...
Out of all of my relatives ,
I feel that my cousin is
the only person
whom I feel is like my mother. Her name is
Deourng Socheata ; she is the eldest
of the six siblings of
her family. My cousin is in her mid-40s now, but still looks very beautiful. She also has a daughter who is in
her grade 9. My cousin is a strong woman; she works hard from dawn to dusk to support
her family . But she does not work at the moment
because of health reasons. Instead
, she stays at home and helps my aunt
take care of the housework, which is still
a very tough work. Ever since I moved to live in her
family, my cousin has made me feel very comfortable. She treats me just like her own son. In fact, she does not
even allow me to help with any chores
at all, for she wants me to just study hard. My cousin is
the kind of person
with whom I can share everything
with. She is very good at giving advice, especially when I feel down about my performance at school. She's very understanding of someone my age. My cousin and my mother share a lot of
similar characteristics, and most of all they look a lot like each other; that is probably why I feel
happy when she is around. My commitment is to care for her as I care for my mother, for
they are the most important people in my life.
