"Coming Home Again" Response

The irony about his mothers illness was that she said he doesn't belong in the kitchen helping, but now that she is sick, he is the one in there cooking the meals and doing dishes. The theme I got out of the story was that you should appreciate what you have, because when you know your going to loose something, then you do things that will try and savor the moments that are left. I think he titled the story "Coming Home Again" because he is back home to his family from the boarding school he attended. He learned his mother has cancer and is doing everything he can to cherish the moments left with his mother.

I think Lee is trying to make us look at what we have in front of us, and that we need to appreciate it more, because once its gone, its to late. Use the time you are giving because it might not always be there.
