Crying in H Mart

i'm grateful to the memoir Crying in H Mart for sparking a lot of productive thoughts about my family and their importance in my life.
the author lost her mother at 25. i'm 25. my mom is well, but it just gets you thinking.
i can relate to the author's childhood. she had an immigrant mother who expressed her love in ways that were not easy for her child to understand, especially food. i can relate to that.
the book is good, but so heavy. i keep having to put it down. but i'm grateful to have the opportunity to "live" the author's experience through her words.
one action item for me is to learn my mother's recipes. i've mentally picked 3 of them and i want her to teach me them. it'll be a good mother-son bonding experience too.
