When I was growing up,Mother's Day was as important as Christmas.
The energy around the house was always positive,mostly thanks to my father who made sure that his kids appreciated their mother.We would clean the house,and Mum got breakfast in bed in the morning and didn't have to lift a finger all day.And in the evening,we went to a restaurant for a traditional Mother's Day dinner.
What I learnt from my father over the years,was that no matter what,he always put my mother before himself.He absolutely loved her and never let her forget that.
I maintain (保持) my father's Mother's Day tradition with my wife.Growing up,I learnt that showing affection to the woman you love or who gave birth to you is an important part of life.You see,it goes both ways,and the love you have for your mother comes back to you again and again.
Believing that and feeling it when you can may keep you from being lonely,even if your mum isn't close by or has passed away.There are a number of us who no longer have a mother in our lives,and truth be told,there are often times when I wish my mum were still here to comfort me.So instead,I remember the times she did just that.It makes me smile,and somehow,those memories of a more simple and loving life give me the comfort I'm looking for.
If you are mumless,you too should find a deserving woman in your life and celebrate Mother's Day with her.If you don't know anyone,there are plenty of lonely mums in rest homes who would enjoy your company for a couple of hours.The visit will make both of your days,and perhaps your lives,a little bit better.
