It was a sunny spring day, and I took my mother-in-law back to the town where I was born and raised, to celebrate my mother's birthday. My heart is full of anticipation, and I hope that this gathering will make my family feel happy and happy.
My mother was a kind and gentle person, and she has always been the most important pillar and support in my life. Even though I am married and living my own life, my love and gratitude for my mother has never diminished.
I took my mother-in-law back to my hometown, and along the way, my mother-in-law was full of curiosity and anticipation for my mother. She asked me a lot about my mother, and I told her with joy, telling about my mother's kindness and warmth.
Finally, we arrived at my house, where my mother was already waiting for us. When she saw me with my mother-in-law, she had a smile on her face.
During the dinner, my mother-in-law and I prepared a sumptuous table of dishes for my mother, who tasted the food we prepared for her and praised our craftsmanship with a smile on her face. I looked at my mother's smile and my heart was filled with happiness and satisfaction.
However, at this moment, the mother suddenly said, "Son, I am glad that you have come to see me, but you know what, I haven't seen you come back for a long time. ”
I was a little surprised, I knew that I hadn't been home to visit my mother often since I got married, but I had been trying my best to take care of her and make her happy and at ease.
"Mom, I'm busy with work and can't come back to see you often, but you know I've been missing you. I explained with some reluctance.
However, the mother did not listen, and she continued: "I know you are busy with work, but you can't always forget to come back to see me. You know, I'm alone at home and sometimes I feel lonely. ”
When I heard this, my heart ached. I never thought that my mother would feel lonely and lonely because I didn't come home often, I felt sorry for her, and my heart was full of guilt and remorse.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I'll definitely come back to see you often in the future. I quickly apologized.
However, the mother shook her head, her eyes full of disappointment and helplessness.
"Child, I know you're busy with your life, and I'm not asking you to come back to see me every day, but I want you to remember to come home to see me, spend time with me, and have a chat. I'm just an ordinary old man, and my only hope is to be able to be with you and live an ordinary and happy life. ”
When I heard my mother's words, tears flowed uncontrollably. I never realized that my mother's expectation and dependence on me was so deep, and my heart was full of pain and self-blame.
Since then, I haven't visited my mother, and I feel like I can't face the look in her eyes, and I can't face how disappointed I was for her. I could only silently bear the pain and remorse in my heart, and I knew that I had lost the opportunity to return to my mother forever.
