你十五岁时，她下班回家，寻求一个拥抱。你报之以锁上自己的卧室门。

你十七岁时，她在等一个重要电话。你报之以整夜煲电话粥。
你十八岁时，她在你高中毕业时流下眼泪。你报之以出去寻欢，彻夜不归。
变老
你十九岁时，她为你付学费，开车送你去大学校园，为你提着包。你报之以在宿舍外与她说再见，以免在同学面前尴尬。
你二十岁时，她问你是否在约会。你报之以说“这与你无关。”
你二十一岁时，她为你将来的生涯做出规划。你报之以说“我不想像你那样活。”
你二十二岁时，大学毕业了，她拥抱了你。你报之以问她能否为你欧洲之行付费。

你三十岁时，她打来电话建议你怎样育儿。你报之以告诉她“现在情况不同了。”
你四十岁时，她打来电话提醒你一个亲戚的生日。你报之以告诉她“真得很忙。”
你五十岁时，她生病需要你照顾。你报之以读给她父母成为孩子的累赘听。
然后有一天，她不声不响地走了。那些你从未做过的事，像惊雷一样在耳边炸响。
“长夜漫漫，摇呀摇，摇动着婴儿，摇动着我。”
“那双摇动摇篮的手……可能摇动世界。”
让我们抽出片刻时间来赞美和感激那个被称为母亲的人吧，尽管有些人不会当着母亲的面说这些话。妈妈是不可替代的。珍惜和她在一起的分分秒秒。虽然有时她可能不是你最好的朋友，她可能与你观点不一致，但她依然是你妈妈！！！她会在你身边，倾听你的悲伤，你的吹牛，你的挫折，你的一切。反躬自问，你给她留出足够的时间来倾听她在锅碗瓢盆中的忧伤以及她的疲劳了吗？尽管你可能和她意见相左，但你依然需要委婉得体充满深情地对她表达应有的尊重。一旦离去，剩下的只有对过去美好的回忆和无尽的痛悔。
不要不在意最靠近自己心灵的东西。爱她要超过爱自己。没有了她生活将不再有意义。

Those Childhood Days
When you came into the world, she held you in her arms.
You thanked her by weeping your eyes out. When you were 1 year old, she fed you and bathed you. You thanked her by crying all night long. When you were 2 years old, she taught you to walk. You thanked her by running away when she called. When you were 3 years old, she made all your meals with love. You thanked her by tossing your plate on the floor. When you were 4 years old, she gave you some crayons. You thanked her by coloring the dining room table. When you were 5 years old, she dressed you for the holidays. You thanked her by plopping into the nearest pile of mud. When you were 6 years old, she walked you to school. You thanked her by screaming, “I'm not going!” When you were 7 years old, she bought you a baseball. You thanked her by throwing it through the next-door-neighbor's window. When you were 8 years old, she handed you an ice cream. You thanked her by dripping it all over your lap. When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons. You thanked her by never even bothering to practice. When you were 10 years old, she drove you all day, from soccer to gymnastics to one birthday party after another. You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back. When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row. When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. Those Teenage Years When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by telling her she had no taste. When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, she came home from work, looking for a hug. You thanked her by having your bedroom door locked. When you were 16, she taught you how to drive her car. You thanked her by taking it every chance you could. When you were 17, she was expecting an important call. You thanked her by being on the phone all night. When you were 18, she cried at your high school graduation. You thanked her by staying out partying until dawn. Growing Old and Gray
When you were 19, she paid your college tuition, drove you to campus, carried your bags. You thanked her by saying good-bye outside the dorm so you wouldn't be embarrassed in front of your friends.
When you were 20, she asked whether you were seeing anyone. You thanked her by saying, “It's none of your business.” When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future. You thanked her by saying, “I don't want to be like you.” When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation. You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe. When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment.
You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly. When you were 24, she met your fiance and asked about your plans for the future. You thanked her by glaring and growling, “Muuhh-ther, please!” When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you. You thanked her by moving halfway across the country. When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, “Things are different now.” When you were 40, she called to remind you of a relative's birthday. You thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now.” When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children. And then one day she quietly died. And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder.
“Rock me baby, rock me all night long.” “The hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world”. Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our thoughts, she is still your mother!!! She will be there for you...to listen to your woes, your bragging, your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself...have you put aside enough time for her, to listen to her “blues” of working in the kitchen, her tiredness? Be tactful, loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left. Don＇t take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her ... |
