The mother's past is the sea holiday where she was young and carefree, while the poet's past is the laughter of her mother. both are no more. they are trying to come to terms with the fact that they have lost their days of joy. they are experiencing mixed emotions. to let go of their past and move on is taking a lot of labor on their part.

wry-expression of dry humor
