Question

Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never fully appreciated their mothers 1 it was too late to tell them. I am blessed with the dear mother who is still alive. I 2 her more each day. My mother does not change, but I 3. As I grow older and wiser, I realize 4 an exceptional person she is. How 5 that I am unable to speak these words in her 6, but they flow easily from my pen.
How does a daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love, patience and just 7 hard work that go into 8 a child? For running after a toddler (学走步的小孩), for understanding a 9 teenager, for tolerating (忍受;容忍) a college student who knows 10 ? For waiting for the day when a daughter 11 how wise her mother really is?
How does a 12 woman thank a mother for 13 to be a mother? For being ready 14 advice (when asked) or remaining 15 when it is most appreciated? For not saying, “I told you so,” when she could have uttered these words 16? For being 17 herself-loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
I don’t know how, dear God, except to ask you to bless her as richly as she 18 and to help me live up to the example she has 19. I pray that I will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother 20 in mine.
