Fein, I feel that a collage would be the best fit to represent the importance of memories and the little things that matter in life that may seem insignificant. Janice E. Fein felt that she was cheated in life because her mother had rheumatoid arthritis which was debilitating for her and landed her bed ridden since Janice was in kindergarden. She concretely remembers that her mother only walked her to school once, only later she would reconcile that memory and realize how important that was for her and her mother. "I can only remember my mother walking one time in my life. She walked me to kindergarten."]]> 2017-10-24 00:55:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199819428 kkosolowsky https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199819941 2017-10-24 00:57:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199819941 kkosolowsky https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199820314 After her childhood, and entering into young adult-hood she felt that she was cheated because her mother was never there for her in those memorable times that other children enjoyed such as: getting picked up for walked home from school, experiencing the fresh sent of dinner being cooked, to attending family events or Mothers day. "Connie wrinkled her nose in disgust and said, Lasagna . . . again I pretended to have to use the bathroom so that I could pass through the kitchen and briefly glimpse what lasagna looked like." Janice' mother was never able to cook since she didn't have the strength and was in too much pain so she had no idea what lasagna was at that time, only basic food items such as mac and cheese, fish sticks, sandwiches, etc. She was constantly brought down by every situation that involved other students parents, thinking that she was the one who was being cheated by not being involved. ]]> 2017-10-24 00:59:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199820314 kkosolowsky https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199820827 2017-10-24 01:03:05 UTC https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199820827 kkosolowsky https://padlet.com/kkosolowsky/5mn5dptf22k5/wish/199821049 I've rolled the film a thousand times. The scenes have never changed, only my perspective. It took the birth of my first child to truly see the whole picture. I've often tried to imagine what it would be like to see my son in pain and not be able to brush away a tear, mend a knee or simply hold him in my arms. I've seen the look in his eyes when he hit his first home run. I've hugged him warm on snowy days and tickled him happy when life was cruel. I've knelt with him to say his prayers and thanked God for my ability to do so. I may never understand why some of us are cheated in life. I only know, from this perspective, that I am not the one who was." Janice realizes that she wasn't the one who was cheated, It took the birth of her first child to realize how hard it would be to not be there for your own child growing up and could only imagine the true pain her mother was in. Her mother was the one who was truly robbed from her own and her family's life by not being able to experience the small things in life and growing old with her family. Throughout Janice's childhood she was constantly depressed with the fact that she didn't have a mother that couldn't do anything with her and blamed her for it. Although in return she felt the true pain when she had her own child and was able to experience what it would of been like in her mothers shoes by not being able to do the things she does with her child.
