My Mother and Homeland
The Weight of Helplessness – (Episode 5B)
“My son, I’ve picked some fresh lemons. It’s market day today… you’ll have to take them to sell.”
Little Ethan would object without understanding anything —
“No, I can’t sell those! My friends will laugh at me.”
His mother tried to explain gently—
“They don’t understand our situation, that’s why they tease you. But we have to think about our reality. Your father’s income supports the whole family. Even this little extra money helps us. And the lemons are going to waste anyway.”
Mom’s words made him think.
He felt a deep pain for his father… and silently wondered —
Why is life like this? Why so much struggle? Why so much pain? Why not for others?
his mother came close, gently placing her hand on his head.
“My dear son… don’t be like that.”
Her calm, soothing voice brought peace to his heart.
With a heavy voice, he finally said—
“Alright, Mom… I’ll take it. You get everything ready.”
