Memoryis often the source of our greatest joys as well as our deepest regrets. Icherish (珍爱)every memory I have of my Mom, but at the same time I regret no longer beingable to create new ones with her. My Mom left this world when I was only 25years old. I never got a chance to say "Thank You" to her for all ofthem. All I can do now is to share these memories with you.
Mom,I remember when you spent hours walking with me searching for my dog, Duke whenhe ran away. You never let me lose hope. I also remember you putting him in mybed after he finally found his own way home.
Mom,I remember how you never complained when you took me, my wife, and newborn babyson into your home was struggling financially(金融上) the first year of my marriage. Youshowed me what it takes to love and raise a child...
Mom,I remember all the lessons you taught me about patience, humor, and couragewhen you faced your long battle with cancer. It may have finally taken yourbody, but it never got your spirit. I also remember how you always ended ourphone calls those last years of your life with those three words that live oninside of me today: "I Love You!"
Mom,I would give everything I have for just one more hug from you. You gave me somuch love. You helped make my heart and soul what they are today. I love youand will continue to love you more every single day of my life.
