I don't remember when it first started annoying me - my mom's hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me, for they felt rough (粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, l shouted out at her "Don't do that anymore - your hands are too rough!" She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.
Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her good-night kiss on my face. I'm not a little girl anymore. My mom is in her mid-70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me.
Now my own children are grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow (眉毛).
Taking my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation(感激) for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt (内疚) that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
