Wow! What a beautiful piece of writing! It feels like a long poem which started with cuteness and on a happy note, and then it progressed to tell the tale of a woman and her struggle without giving much info. And then the mood slowly glided to a note of sadness with you imagining yourself in your sixties, but at the very end you lifted up the mood as you wanted to be like your mother. I also want to be like my mother in many ways. So it felt so warm and close to my heart at the end. Enjoyed reading it.
