Memory is often the source of our greatest joys as well as our deepest regrets. I cherish (珍爱) every memory I have of my Mom, but at the same time I regret no longer being able to create new ones with her. My Mom left this world when I was only 25 years old. I never got a chance to say "Thank You" to her for all of them. All I can do now is to share these memories with you.
Mom, I remember when you spent hours walking with me searching for my dog, Duke when he ran away. You never let me lose hope. I also remember you putting him in my bed after he finally found his own way home.
Mom, I remember how you never complained when you took me, my wife, and newborn baby son into your home was struggling financially(金融上) the first year of my marriage. You showed me what it takes to love and raise a child...
Mom, I remember all the lessons you taught me about patience, humor, and courage when you faced your long battle with cancer. It may have finally taken your body, but it never got your spirit. I also remember how you always ended our phone calls those last years of your life with those three words that live on inside of me today: "I Love You!"
Mom, I would give everything I have for just one more hug from you. You gave me so much love. You helped make my heart and soul what they are today. I love you and will continue to love you more every single day of my life.
