[ WP ] What if children inherited their parents ' memories ?

Living across the country from the rest of your family is hard. Do you have the wedding here? Or where most of your relatives live? How long until your mom finally understands video chatting so she can see her granddaughter walk? How guilty should I feel for leaving my mom at home alone after dad passed? I mean, I need to live my own life too and my job gives me no choice. 
 
 Being far away from mom was tough, but I made goddamn sure my daughter heard stories about her every night. Stories from my childhood and my teenage years. How we fought and how it was always out of love. 
 
 I started off tonight with the usual tales. That time I snuck out, that time I stole mom's makeup when I was n't allowed to wear any. Thought I'd get the rebellious stories out of the way before she could understand and well, rebel herself. 
 
 Something about tonight though was different. Words starting flowing out of my mouth like a waterfall. Story after story, things I do n't remember knowing but details that felt familiar nonetheless. I told her about my mother's first love and the day she lost her last. When did she tell me these stories? 
 
 I went on for hours, well after my little baby fell asleep. About the day I came home from the hospital, my first birthday, stories my mom told me from when she was young.. or did she? At the least, things I should hardly remember. It was almost as if a strike of genius had hit me, but I wanted to know more. 
 
 I picked up the phone and dialed my mom's number, except no one picked up.
