Interview One~

Ps- There is some background noise due to my siblings and my pets. It’s hard to keep a very busy household quite.

For my first interview I decided there is no better person to interview then my mom, since she was mine and my siblings primary care giver and I personally look up to her. During this interview I was honestly kind of nervous and afraid of maybe asking too much of a personal question but later in the interview I was able to let go of some of those negative emotions and be able to ask her some of these questions from heart. At the end we were able to have this type of heart to heart. Something I would like to highlight from the interview is when I asked my mom the question of ” other then being a mother is there any other memories of being a care giver to either siblings, friends, or even any other family members” and she started to talk about her grandmother (my great grandma) and how she had to start taking care of her once she started to develop Alzheimer’s. I made this type of connection to where I realized that the role of ” care taker” has been switched. I started to remember all of the little story’s my mom used to tell me about her and my great grandma, my great grandma would always allow my mom to sneak out when her mom didn’t allow her to or when my mom would be around my great grandma so much. At the end of the response my mother said she looked up to her and that just made my heart melt because even though my mother said no to the question of ” did your primary care giver have any major impact on your life” I knew that even though my great grandma wasn’t her primary care giver, she still had a big impact on my mothers life.
