母亲节的前一天，女儿去朋友家玩了十个小时，午夜才睡，早上10：30半醒来后，一脸困惑地望着天花板发呆，我笑咪咪地亲了她后，问到：＂早上好，宝贝，想和妈妈说什么吗？＂女儿的脸更困惑了，我忍住笑，又问到：＂今天是什么日子？＂小人在楞了十秒后，从床上一跃而起，飞奔小楼，一会儿，小心翼翼地捧着几样东西上来了。每年最快乐的时光之一，收母亲节的礼物。一个编了一个星期的发卡，一束纸做的花，一个心形的卡片，一束昨天现做的LED的花。
看着这个用柳树枝做框，画满了各种我喜欢的花卉和她那些充满感情的致语，泪水夺眶而出，女儿这几周的奇怪举动都明朗了，从三周前开始，她不段地带各种树枝回家，不停地弯曲它们，测试柔韧度，每天追在我后面问我喜欢的花卉，不知情的我历数了许多喜欢的花卉，她把我喜欢的每一种花卉都画在了卡上，还有发自内心的致语，这要花多少时间去想啊！ "M" is for the millions things she gave me, "O" means only that she's growing old, "T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold, "E" is for her eyes, with love- light shining,
"R" means right and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "Mother",
A word that means the world to me!
 
不经意想起Martina McBride - In My Daughter's Eyes lyrics
In my daughter's eyes, I am a hero, I am strong and wise, And I know no fear,
But the truth is plain to see,
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I want to be, In my daughter's eyes,
Everyone is equal, Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace, This miracle god gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak, I find reason to believe,
In my daughter's eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger, How it puts a smile in my heart,
Everything becomes a little clearer, I realize what life is all about, It's hanging on when your heart is had enough, It's giving more when you feel like giving up,
I've seen the light,
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes, I can see the future,
A reflection of who I am and what will be,
And though she'll grow and someday leave,
Maybe raise a family,
When I'm gone I hope you see,
How happy she made me,
For I'll be there,
这两年经历了车祸，婚变和Layoff，朋友们总说你怎么可能这么冷静，坚强和乐观。很简单，女儿给我力量，她的爱支持我勇敢地面对一切，我是女儿的天，妈妈对生活的态度决定女儿现在和未来的生活态度， 想起我车祸之后左半边身体大部功能丧失后，7岁的女儿独自推着Costco巨大的购物车，爬上大货箱，搬起二，三十磅的西瓜；想起我情绪低落的时候，她抱着我说，妈妈，你就是没了整个世界，你还有我；想起我应新工作紧张，脾气不好的时候，她递给我两个橡皮减压球说，＂妈妈，你Stress的时候，就使劲捏，就会Feel better，想起她经历家庭突变的时候，抱着爸爸哭的伤心欲绝，求他回来到和我说，“妈妈，我不是最惨的，我还有妈妈，I am fine with current life，我还可以每天高高兴兴的.......。” She was sent to rescue me，她是我力量的源泉。
