My mother was a therapist(治疗专家). Well, technically she was a hairdresser, but in reality she was a therapist. I grew up in the salon(美发店) -- sitting on the chairs after school, listening to the ladies talk about their problems, watching my mother comb and listen. She gave every one of her clients her attention. When they were in that chair, she w as theirs. She listened to stories of cancer, marriages, divorces and everything in between. As a child, I found it strange that these women would talk so openly to my mother about such deeply personal matters.

I remember once listening to one of my mother's clients talking to her about some financial problems she and her husband were having. In the break room later that afternoon, I made some comment about it to my mother. I do not remember what I said but I clearly remember her response: "When people share their lives with you, it means they trust you. Trust is more important than money."

My mother died on February 14th, 1999. It was a simple burial. But there is one image that stands in my mind: the sea of faces at the service. There must have been over a hundred people at the service. Among them was a man, whose wife used to one of my mother’s customers. He came because of the special care my mother gave to his wife when she was dying of cancer.

I did not find out until years later that my mother went to the hospital every morning for months to wash her, do her make-up and get her ready to face another day.

My mother was a hairdresser. She had a 4th grade education. In her lifetime, she didn't earn millions of dollars and was not successful by today's standards. But in my mind, she is one of most successful women I know.
