有感于水晶妹妹诉说妈妈车站送行的场面，真是“儿行千里母担忧，母行千里儿不愁”哇。有妈妈真好。这下半句虽然不全对，却有些真实性。上周末，俺得知妈妈突然出现脑动脉堵塞的某些症状，须连续两周点滴治疗，虽心急如焚，可远水救不了近火，除了早晚通话问候一下，所能做得是少之又少。 有心回去看望老妈，这拖儿带女的，恐怕只能给老妈添麻烦，帮倒忙，好在老妈四肢活动尚未受影响，生活能自理。3 }, T. q9 g! C( A
今日读到这篇文章，深感不论中西，普天下的母亲虽信仰不同，性格各异，他们为家庭为儿女鞠躬尽瘁，死而后已的心是一样的。姐妹们应该也有同感吧？: _" _) T0 B9 M" p$ |

Why I love Mom

Mom and Dad were watching TV when Mom said “I’m tired, and it’s getting late. I think I’ll go to bed.”

She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day’s lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She watered the plants, emptied a wastebasket and hung up a towel to dry. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom.

She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the field trip, and pulled a textbook out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her purse. Mom then washed her face with 3-in-1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth and filed her nails.

She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and TVs, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework.

In her own room she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her six most important things-to-do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals.

About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. “I’m going to bed.”

And he did… without another thought.

Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer? We cannot die sooner, we still have things to do. |
