When you were 21, she suggested certain careers for your future. You thanked her by saying, “I don’t want to be like you.”

  When you were 22, she hugged you at your college graduation. You thanked her by asking whether she could pay for a trip to Europe.

  When you were 23, she gave you furniture for your first apartment. You thanked her by telling your friends it was ugly.

  When you were 24, she met your fiancé and asked about your plans for the future. You thanked her by glaring1 and growling2, “Muuhh-ther, please!”

  When you were 25, she helped to pay for your wedding, and she cried and told you how deeply she loved you. You thanked her by moving halfway3 across the country.

  When you were 30, she called with some advice on the baby. You thanked her by telling her, “Things are different now.”

  When you were 40, she called to remind you of an relative’s birthday. You thanked her by saying you were “really busy right now”.

  When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their children.

  And then, one day, she quietly died.

年华渐增

你21岁时,她为你将来从事什么职业提出一些建议。而你对她的感恩回报,就是对她说:“我才不愿像你那样!”

你22岁时,她在你大学毕业典礼上紧紧拥抱你。而你对她的感恩回报,就是问她能否掏钱让你去欧洲旅行。

你23岁时,她为你的第一套公寓置办家具。而你对她的感恩回报,就是告诉朋友说这些家具非常难看。

你24岁时,她见到了你的未婚夫,问你们将来有什么打算。而你对她的感恩回报,就是对她怒目而视,大声吼叫:“妈……,求求你别烦了!”

你25岁时,她花钱帮你筹办婚礼,对你哭诉着说她是多么地深爱着你。而你对她的感恩回报,就是把家安得离她远远的。

你30岁时,她打来电话为宝宝抚养提出忠告。而你对她的感恩回报,就是告诉她:“现在情况和以前不同了!”

你40岁时,她打电话提醒你别忘了一个亲戚的生日。而你对她的感恩回报,就是说你“现在忙得不可开交”。

你50岁时,她生病了需要你照顾。而你对她的感恩回报,就是念叨着父母成为了子女的负担。

后来,有一天,她静悄悄地去了。
