Towels

My mother used to fold towels into three for storage. That was our family style. I assumed everyone folded towels into three.

When my mother had Alzheimer’s disease, helpers started to come to her house. They did many tasks, such as laundry. Then, I realized most people fold towels into four. I didn’t have any reason to tell them about our family style. I adopted their style and started to fold towels into four.

But at my house, I kept our family tradition. My wife I and folded towels into three.

My mother has since passed away. And I found my wife now tends to fold towels into four. At my wife’s parents house, they fold towels into four. She had adopted my style before. I fold towels into three; my wife folds them into four. That is not efficient. Differently folded towels are not good for storage.

From now on, I will fold towels into four.

Goodbye, Mommy.
