A neat way to capture the concept of “getting old.” I especially like the recurring dialogue with the mother/daughter banter.

memoir essay sample from your article on The Armchair Genealogist. I have a style and never thought to write the family history this way. This is truly a wonderful story. I will tell my family that if I end up like your mother, I want gold lame thongs too. What’s not said in the piece speaks louder than the words here.

This is an awesome essay.  So happy to say you are my Comp II professor!  I still have tears running down my cheeks and smile on my face as I comment on this wonderful writing.  I am so happy for you that you have your mother still alive and being humorous. My mother passed away in the 1980′s when she was 54 and I was only 33 yrs old.  Good job is not enough to say about this essay. Your awesome and have the gift indeed :)

Quite an accomplished story in very few words!
