Mother's Monument

(Baonghean) - In the last days of July, I returned to see mother Hien and mother Mai - the heroic mothers in Quynh Hau commune, Quynh Luu district. The last time I met them was more than 6 years ago. Now that I have returned to visit, both mothers have become much weaker. Their eyes are dim, they speak slowly, they remember things, they forget things... but they still sit quietly by the door, waiting anxiously in vain.
