　　And then one day she quietly died.

　　And everything you never did came crashing down like thunder.

　　“Rock me baby，rock me all night long.”

　　“The hand who rocks the cradle...may rock the world”.

　　Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother. There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends，may not agree to our thoughts，she is still your mother!!!She will be there for you...to listen to your woes，your braggings，your frustations，etc. Ask yourself...have you put aside enough time for her，to listen to her “blues” of working in the kitchen，her tiredness? Be tactful，loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone，only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.

　　Don't take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her ...

当你1岁的时候，她喂你吃奶并给你洗澡；而作为报答，你整晚的哭着；   
当你3岁的时候，她怜爱的为你做菜；而作为报答，你把一盘她做的菜扔在地上；   
当你4岁的时候，她给你买下彩笔；而作为报答，你涂了满墙的抽象画；   
当你5岁的时候，她给你买了漂亮的衣服；而作为报答，你穿着它到泥坑里玩耍；   
当你7岁的时候，她给你买了球；而作为报答，你用球打破了邻居的玻璃；   
当你9岁的时候，她付了很多钱给你辅导钢琴；而作为报答，你常常旷课并不去练习；   
当你11岁的时候，她陪你还有你的朋友们去看电影；而作为报答，你让她坐另一排去；   
当你13岁的时候，她建议你去把头发剪了，而你说她不懂什么是现在的时髦发型；   
当你14岁的时候，她付了你一个月的夏令营费用，而你却一整月没有打一个电话给她；   
当你15岁的时候，她下班回家想拥抱你一下，而作为报答，你转身进屋把门插上了?  
当你17岁的时候，她在等一个重要的电话，而你却抱着电话和你的朋友聊了一晚上；   
当你18岁的时候，她为你高中毕业感动得流下眼泪，而你却跟朋友在外聚会到天亮；   
当你19岁的时候，她付了你的大学学费又送你到学校，你要求她在远点下车怕同学看见笑话；   
当你20岁的时候，她问你“你整天去哪”，而你回答：我不想像你一样；   
当你23岁的时候，她给你买家具布置你的新家，而你对朋友说她买的家具真糟糕；   
当你30岁的时候，她对怎样照顾小孩提出劝告，而你对她说：妈，时代不同了；   
当你40岁的时候，她给你打电话，说今天生日，而你回答：妈，我很忙没时间；   
当你50岁的时候，她常常患病，需要你的看护，而你却为你的儿女在奔波；   
终于有一天，她去世了，突然你想起了所有从来没做过的事，它们像榔头般痛击着你的心。   
如果母亲仍健在，那么别忘了比以往任何时候都更深地爱着她。   
如果她已经不幸永远离开了你，那么你必须记得，母爱才是天底下最无私的爱。

我长那么大，几乎没有过过生日。自己的生日，就是母亲的受难日。虽然说得有点严重。但这是 我外婆告诉我的。

（现在还是经常惹妈妈生气，我还是个不懂事的孩子）

如果非要把生日看成一个节日，它首先应该是“忏悔节”，忏悔自己前一段生命历程的失误和不足，让灵魂接受一次洗礼，同时，它应该是“感恩节”感谢他人在前一段生命历程中给自己的抚育和爱护
