妈妈的生日就快到了。以前固执地认为庆祝生日是厂商鼓励人们消费的方法。哎......树欲静而风不息,子欲养而亲不在。爸爸生日那天,妈妈在病床上,吩咐我从抽屉里取出那张她在入院前为爸爸准备的生日卡片。她用她微薄的力气,在生日卡上,写上:"今年只能送你这份礼物了"。那一刻,我发现能为心爱的人庆生是幸福的。2000年7月,我们为我妈庆祝了她的最后一次生日;12月,妈妈最后一次为我庆生。那一年,我发现庆祝生日的意义在于庆祝生命。多希望能再为妈妈庆祝生日。

It's not till recently that I could understand.

I can only hope wherever life takes them, they are happier than in times of sickness.

Sometimes I get angry with myself because whenever I think of my mum, my thoughts of her are always the sad ones. I want so much to remember the happier time we went on tours together; but I can't help but think of her on the hospital bed. Time can't seem to heal my wounds... at least not yet.

yo. sometimes thinking of loved ones in their most difficult times can help to numb us and help us to be more compassionate in our everyday life. i think i'm confusing you, but yea? get what i mean?
