In my life, I have received many gifts from
my mother. The most important was my life. However, there’s another special
gift I will never forget.
When I grew up, I left home and got a job
in South America. One day , a call came from my brother, “Something is wrong
with Mom. She’s forgetful (健忘). She thinks we’re hiding (藏) you from her…”
I got back home at once. It was clear that
she would not be able to stay in the house alone.
For nearly 4 years I stayed with my mother
and we had fun. We even planted some vegetables together in the garden. It was
not easy for me. I had to stop working. When I had to leave , I had to ask
someone to look after her or drive her to my brother’s.
When it became clear that she was near the
end, family memebers were called to come to say their good byes. For 3 weeks my
sister and I just sat with Mom, took long walks and spent some real time with
each other. My sister and I were both with Mom when she was passing away (去世), holding her hands and
telling her how much we loved her. At the end of life, my mother gave me the
gift of time with my sister in a way we would never have given ourselves.
