My Mother
Like all mothers in the world, my mother loves me very much. Her behavior has influenced me deeply. Many of my good habits are given by her. Thanks to her concern and her education, I become a moral, optimistic, and discerning girl.
I heard from my father that my mother doted me when I was a little child. When I was too young to speak, she went to shops with me, and bought everything I showed interest in.
As I was growing older, she seemed to become a bit “harsher”. When I was in Junior High School, I was too lazy to get up early. Thus, although my mother got up earlier to cook breakfast for me, I often did not eat. Having been told many times the harm that not eating breakfast would bring about, I still did not want to get up early to eat. Then, my mother, who was angry, made a decision that she did not allow me to go to school if I did not have breakfast. I just sat there and thought she was not serious. However, she really did not allow me to go to school! Being afraid of being scolded by teacher, I had to have my breakfast. Since then, I dare not escape breakfast any longer, no matter how busy I am. I should thank my mother because it was she who “forced” me to develop this healthy habit.
There is another thing which moved me deeply. When I was in Senior High School, I did not want to bother to bring my raincoat. One day, it was raining heavily after school, and I was stuck. My father would work late that day and my mother was having a fever because of catching a cold. I thought that I had to be soaked through. To my surprise and delight, my mother should come to our school to bring a raincoat to me. I will never forget her familiar tiny figure from distance in the rain.
My mother always cares me, no matter where I am, and what I am doing. I still remember her tears when I left her and came to Singapore. Evert time I thought about this, my eyes are also full of tears. What I want to say is that I also love my mother, very very deeply, and I will not let her down.
You really have a good mother. What you wrote reminds me of my own mother. Just like I have said in class, my mother loves me very much. Your mother who asked you to have breakfast wanted you to be healthy. So is my mother. I have something wrong with my stomach. When I don’t have breakfast, I will have a stomachache. So she always asked me to get up to have breakfast even it was late to go to school. She always put some snacks in my bag in case I was hungry. I also remember the scene that I left them to Singapore. There were tears in my parents’ eyes. This was the first time that I saw my father cried. At that time, I realized that how much they love me and I love them.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have parents who care about you. When you were a child, you do not understand the reasons for your mother's actions. Trust me, every parent wants the best for the child and I dare say that parents will move heaven and earth just to fulfill the wishes of their children. The least you should do is to accord them with the respect they so deserve.
ReplyDeleteWell, parents are always right. When I was in the period of so-called rebelious time, I have quarel with my nother every week. I do not believe what she said at that time and I always believe I could do the things in the opposite way to perove her was wrong. Unfortunately, everytime I want to do things against her words, I find it seemingly impossible to win. As i grow a little bit older, I finally find that time is wisdom. What mother has said wasa always true. She is passing the torch of wisdom to you just like waht her parents did!
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of my family. Although my family is quite different from yours, love is similar. When I was unwilling to get up in winter, my father would always shout “Wu Wen, Wu Wen, get out of your bed.” Sometimes, I always turned a deaf ear to that. However, he would come to my bed and pull my quilts away. It was cold, so I had to wear my clothes, so I had to get up, so I had to eat breakfast… Parents, not only our mothers, love us more than anyone can do. As you said, we should not disappoint them and we should love them.
