【推荐2】Now I can say with certainty that I had never understood others suffering from the loss of a dear person. For my part, it used to be a pity and sympathy. It was when my dear mother died that I started to understand all those people who lost someone they loved. There are perhaps no exact words to describe this pain, at least none can be used on this planet. This intolerable pain tears you apart, which is like a stone on your heart and makes tears run down your face with each recollection of the dear person who has passed away. Time is unlikely to lighten this hurt, no matter what others claim.

Every morning I still wake up to think that my mom is there, drinking her tea in the room and watching her favorite programs. Then the truth rushes up to me suddenly and I realize that it is just a dream hanging around me and a sense of great sadness falling upon me. Despite my apparent peace and brightness, I feel empty inside. My mother’s death was the most painful experience I’ve gone through. It was the most disastrous loss in my life.

The memory of my mother will follow me wherever I go. She was there to show me my first butterfly and my first dress. She was there when I made my first step. She taught me to smile and laugh. Moreover, she listened to all my fears with gentle patience which can only be admiring. Her eyes were so soft and full of comprehension. My mother’s greatest desire was only to offer affection and care to her family. When I had really bad times, she washed me with her healing sympathy and got my attention away from bad feelings with her brilliant humor. My mother was the only person I could really rely on.

Now I want to tell everyone in the world: please cherish the time (every day, every minute and even every second) spent with your dearest one from now on!
