儿子喻沛恩 Ian Yuh 的信
Dear Mommy,
Thank you for taking care of me all my life, serving me wholeheartedly without hesitating even for a moment. Since birth, you have stayed at home to love and nurture me. Though you were extremely smart and capable, you chose to spend your time at home to serve me. You cooked for me every meal each day, and when I asked if you enjoyed cooking, you said that you love to serve me, and so you enjoyed to cook for me.
Mommy, I am very grateful that you allowed me to pursue my hobbies and passions. Thank you for taking me hiking countless of times, even during weekdays after I got out of school. You never enjoyed driving up the mountains, but you did it for me, because you just loved me so much.
I will never forget those times we went stargazing, when you drove up the mountain roads at night and stood out in the scary darkness, enduring the cold.
Thank you also for allowing me to go skiing often during high school. Though you worried for my health and safety during those trips, you cared more about my being able to have fun. And how can I forget those times when you took me mountain biking? I absolutely enjoy the feeling of rushing down the mountain, but disliked biking up those hills. So you shuttled me up 2000 feet to the top of the Santa Cruz mountains and dropped me off, to ensure I can have the most exciting bike down. You did all this
for me, never for your own enjoyment, but so that I can have fun. I cannot imagine how much sacrifice you have made for me.
Mommy, I will always remember those times as a child when I ran to you numerous times everyday with my arms wide open, asking for "愛愛," which was my way of saying hug. I felt safe and warm in your embrace. You loved me so much that it was your one and only hobby, to pour your love on me and Edith, to see that we are healthy and happy and loved.
So Mommy, I am not sure when is the next I can see you and hug you again. I want tell you that I love you very much and appreciate all the things you have done for me. Thank you for spending your time and energy to wish me happy and well. My heart will be always filled with thanksgiving for the blessings and sacrifices you have made for me. I miss you, Mommy.
With much love,
Your beloved son.
妈妈牺牲自己的生命让我有最好的未来
兒喻沛恩
妈妈对孩子的爱有时候实在不能理解。妈妈都会牺牲自己的生命让孩子有最好的未来。太多次,我把妈妈的爱变理所当然,但是我真的不应该这样做。我非常需要感谢我妈妈对我做的事。从小到大,我妈妈做的每件事都是出于爱。
妈妈还没生我之前在研究所读书。她已经拿到历史学硕士, 后来又转读商业管理硕士。在读的过程当中他生下了我和姐姐,所以花了四年才得到学位。自从我出生以后,妈妈从来没有离开家去工作。她有很多知识,但是放弃任何赚钱的机会来照顾姐姐和我。
妈妈一直都是细心地教导我和照顾我。她给我每一个学习机会。她请钢琴老师教我弹钢,而且看我游泳还不错,就把我放在游泳队里。连我住的地放都反映妈妈对我的爱。她希望我在一个很安全的地方长大,有很好的学习机会,所以就办到 Cupertino。
我 从小所有想要的东西几乎都拿到了。妈妈和爸爸剩下的钱都让孩子花。我想要的玩具都有。他们自己不穿新衣服,可是给孩子们买新衣服。而且我想去哪里玩,妈妈 就会想办法计划去那里旅行。我最喜欢去的地点就是 Yosemite 国家公园。我上高中以前,妈妈和爸爸带我去那里将近二十次,希望让我高兴。
妈妈真的很牺牲她自己。所有她做的事都是为别人做的,自己都不享受。我以前问过她, "妈妈,你为什么不做一些让自己快乐的事?"她就回答说,"让我快乐的事就是看我两个孩子快快乐乐地长大。"哇!妈妈太爱我了!
我几年前有很严重的失眠症,严重到连续一个星期都睡不着觉。我那时候不能上学,不能念书,不能运动,什么事都不能做。我四个月都没有任何力气或精神。这四个月当中,妈妈从早到晚都在照顾我,一直为我担心,希望我快点好起来。她照顾到连自己的身体都忽略。
两 年以后,我妈妈发现她自己身上有一块肿瘤。医生说这块肿瘤至少长了一年,就是从我病好了以后开始长的。我看妈妈为了爱孩子的缘故得了癌症心里非常感动。她 做了化疗十二次了,经常没力气做很多事。此外,化疗还让妈妈的手指头都肿起来。虽然妈妈身体不好,她还是每天早上起床为我做早餐。我每次都告诉她真的不 用,因为她应该多休息,她却还是坚持地做。她说她只需要高兴就能好起来,让后让他高兴的事就是服务我,让我可以健康和快乐。
妈妈的爱心太大了,我实在难以完全体会。我常常做家事,希望能减轻妈妈的重担,可是这当然不够让我能回报妈妈给我的爱。我会永远记住妈妈为我做的事。
