A Shawl for Anita


Lolita M. Andrada

My mother brought us up single-


handedly. It was a Herculean task for a woman
so frail, dealing with three adolescent children.
But she managed. She never finished high
school, but her deft hands had skillfully eked out
a living for the four of us. She was good at
knitting. That tided us over until the eldest got a
diploma of teaching. Then she put up a sari-sari
store to send the other children to college.
Mother wanted us all to start a college degree
and she had sacrificed much to see us through.

Mother had a soft heart - especially for Anita.


Anita was the youngest, and I, being the middle
child, had always envied her. She was sickly and
Mother willingly indulged her. My sister's
whimpers never irked her. She was ever so
gentle with her when I impatient and jealous. I
never understood my mother.

My mother who had always been a frail woman


was much thinner now. Anita who was married by
now had never stopped being pampered.

Her lack of concern for our mother's failing


health was getting on my nerves. I felt like
shouting at her, calling her names when I heard
her ask Mother to knit a shawl for her. Mother
could hardly refuse, but I knew that the task was
just too much for her. Her fingers had lost their
flexibility; rheumatic pain told on her knuckles
that felt a million pins pricking. My heart went out
to her every time I saw her painfully the knitting
needles into the yarn.

The rest of us did not want to see Mother lift a


finger. She was too old to work, and we wanted
to save her the burden of doing even the lightest
household chores. Mother said she felt useless
being cooped up in the house all day, doing
nothing. That was before Anita sweet talked her
into knitting her shawl. I was beginning to hate
Anita for being so callous.

Knitting the shawl might have been an agony


for Mother, but she never showed any pain. At
the end of the day, she would look at her
handiwork, a smile on her lips as she held it
against her. Knitting proved to be a slow process,
but Mother didn't mind, I did and when Anita
showed up one day to visit Mother I scolded her
for being so thoughtless.
Anita touched my arm and in a gentle voice
said, "I did it for Mother. That shawl is giving her
reason to live. She was wasting away, didn't you
notice? She felt so useless because she had
nothing to do, no matter how small. Mother is one
person who prefers to live her life working. If she
stops working, she will stop living." I nodded my
head. Perhaps Anita was right I was beginning to
understand my mother.
