The story The Aged Mother basically talked about the government made unbelievable laws. One of them is old people are separated and abandoned in the deep mountain in the middle of Japan. Which has many potential hazards. One family showed love in the story. The old woman was very concerned about her son’s safety and she showed her love by telling him how she loved her son very much. But to obey the law, the only thing she can do is watching her son waving hand to her and disappear in her eyesight with tears.

In the story The aged Mother, the author believes that love is usually important for family communications. Basho preps the quote “The eyes of the old mother were not so dim but that they noted the reckless hastening from one path to another, and her loving heart grew anxious” (Basho 1). It shows that how sad was the aged mother when she will never see her son again. Further in the story, small worries had become concerns: “‘Let not thine eyes be blinded, my son.’ She said. ‘The mountain road is full of dangers. Look carefully and follow the path which holds the piles of twigs. They will guide you to the familiar path farther down’” (Basho 2) shows that the mother just loved her son very much and she could not go away without crying and sobbing. Thus, the author believes love is always important for family communications.
