母爱无价(Cost of Love)
详细内容
'
一天晚上,妻子在厨房准备晚餐的时候,我们的小儿子拿着一张纸走向他母亲。上面写道:
洗车----------------------------5美元
本周整理我的房间----------------1美元
为你去商店--------------------0.5美元
照管小妹妹-------------------0.25美元
外出倒垃圾----------------------1美元
成绩报告单获得良好--------------5美元
打扫通道------------------------2美元
总计应得--------------------14.75美元
他母亲看着他儿子满怀希望地站在那儿等着拿钱。我能看到她脑子里翻腾着记忆的浪花。她拿起钢笔把儿子写过的纸翻过来。在上面写道:
你呆在我的腹中,我为你怀胎9月是无价的;
我陪伴着你为你求医、为你祈祷的那些晚上是无价的;
为你准备玩具、食物、衣服甚至为你擦鼻涕,那是无价的,儿子,
你把以上所有的累加起来,我为你付出的全部的爱是无价的。
儿子读完母亲写的话,双眼含着豆大的泪花,他看着他的妈妈说:"妈
