轉眼間女兒長大了,那個在飛機場摟著媽媽的脖子唱“世上隻有媽媽好”的小寶貝兒,轉眼就大學畢業開始了醫學院的艱苦學習。盡管在媽媽眼裏她永遠是個孩子,可她已經處處顯出大人的成熟來。
去年感恩節的頭一天,我的雪球突然因血栓離開了我。盡管計劃好的第二天感恩節晚餐要有很多人來吃飯,我卻什麽也做不了,隻有哭的份。女兒當天晚上從國家實驗室回來,擁著我說,媽媽別難過,雪球已經去了貓的天堂。它這十幾年多幸福啊,我都想下輩子做貓了。一邊給我拿紙巾,一邊開始籌備第二天的飯食。並告訴她爹別操心。從桌上的台布,餐巾到火雞和一應菜蔬井井有條地準備好,直忙到深夜。第二天又是她把一切做好擺好安排大家就餐。沒有女兒,我真不知道會怎麽樣。我很少失態,這是一生中極有限的情況。卻有女兒給我救駕。能不說這是做母親的幸運嗎?
今年的母親節,我收到遠在馬裏蘭州的女兒寄來的賀卡和禮物。她從自己微薄的工資裏省下錢來(當然,老公也幫了一點)給媽媽送了一個女人最能欣賞的禮物:在SPA度過一天。在給媽媽的賀卡裏女兒以她慣有的工整筆跡,寫下了一個母親所能得到的最動人的詞句。把它貼在這裏,俺也臭美一下。
Dear Mom,
I’m sorry I can’t be home to tell you in person how proud and grateful I am to have a mom like you. You have always been there to support me when I doubt myself, to defend me when I don’t have the strength, and most importantly, to tell me that I’m over-reacting when I’m wrong. You have tought me to be kind and generaous and how to carry myself with grace and dignity; now that I’m grown I can really appreciate all the lessons you wanted to teach me, even when I fought you every step of the way. So, please accept this card as my apology for those difficult years known as my adolescence J
I love you Mom and hope you enjoy your day and your present.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Love

當時把女兒布置的餐桌拍了些照片,一時找不著。等找著了,補掛上來吧。
不過我不太敢養貓
那小東西太靈氣
那眼神能看穿人的靈魂一樣。。。
我比較喜歡狗
隻是自己對這些小東西的毛羽過敏
小東西露嘎回來我脖子紅腫癢痛很久
全是小疙瘩
。。。
吃藥才好一點
祝福姐姐
