Celebrate the Good Days

It was in April of what seemed to be a great year. I was in fourth grade with the greatest teacher, Miss De Rosear — the coolest teacher.

I had just come home from school to find Mom at home. That was because she never arrived home before me. Mom was sitting on the sofa with Dad. A thousand terrible things started flashing through my mind. What if Grandma had passed away? I did not have the to say goodbye. What if my brother was hurt? As I crawled (爬) up on the sofa next to Mom, she gave me a kiss and a huge smile, so I and went on with my normal after-school activities. During the TV show

that I always watched after school, Mom started getting phone calls. The calls continued for the rest of the night. Each time the rang, Mom rushed to her room. I then knew that something bad had happened.

When Mom came back, I asked, ―Mom, why do you keep on the room every time you get a phone call?

She turned to my sister and me and said, ―Girls, I have something to tell you. I have cancer (癌症).

As she said that I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I was thinking, ―Why is God taking my mom from me so soon? What have I done?

I didn’t know that we were just beginning a very long, journey.

The next day on the bus I turned to my friend, Kate. ―My mom…

That was all I could say before I started crying. Kate gave me a big hug and said , ―I know, and I’m here for you.

I knew that Kate would support me.

During the summer, Mom stayed home. On the good days, sister and I talked about what we were going to do next day, week, month, or year with . We never talked about losing her.

We got from many different people. When school started again, Mom had to have surgery (手术). I stayed with one of my teachers, Mrs. Stephens. Mrs. Stephens made me rainbow French toast. She was always there for me with a smile, a

hug, or ―it will be okay advice.

On April 5, my mom became a five-year survivor (幸存者). When that day came, we had a big party. Friends came from far and wide to celebrate how Mom is and her success against cancer!

There will be good days and bad days — some more bad than good. But as I have learned from my mother, celebrate the good days!

Four years ago when I was a boy of 11, I got into the biggest trouble as a kid. It was a Saturday morning. Both my parents were out, leaving me and my 10-month-old sister home alone. Anyway, my sister was still asleep in her room. In fact I had the house to myself. I decided to do some drawing. Soon I gave up. Nothing was on TV, so I felt bored and touched the candles on the shelf …I had an idea! What would happen if I set fire to some kitchen paper? Well, of course it went on fire, but it wasn’t the tiny flame(火苗) I’d expected, and I couldn’t blow it out. I threw it on the floor, and then luckily got my dad’s boots(靴子) and stamped it out.

I thought I was safe until there was a huge hole in my room. When my mum came home later, she smelt the smoke immediately. She dropped the shopping bag, luckily for me, over the hole. I thought this meant she would never see it. However, after running round the house checking for a fire, she of course picked up the bag and saw the hole. Next I was grounded(关禁闭) and in trouble for months. Even worse, the hole was still there, reminding me of what I did.
