I have not seen my mother in person since her last visit to the United States in 2017. Thanks to technology, we can chat online every week, but I can’t hug her, lean on her, look in her eyes, take care of her, it just feels different. The pain of missing family members and being separated from loved ones is profound. Recently, my mother sent me a picture of her. She looks very beautiful and very happy. Looking at her, I was also very happy, with tears in my eyes. This is a quick watercolor of my mom’s photo.
