Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not say it openly to their mother. Theres no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though at times she may not be the best of friends， may not agree to our thoughts， she is still your mother！！！She will be there for you…to listen to your woes woe n.悲哀， your braggings， your frustations， etc. Ask yourself…have you put aside enough time for her， to listen to her “blues” of working in the kitchen， her tiredness？ Be tactful， loving and still show her due respect though you may have a different view from hers. Once gone， only fond memories of the past and also regrets will be left.
Dont take for granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her …
让我们花片刻时间，对被称做“妈”的人表示敬仰，表示感激，虽然有些人在他们的母亲面前难以开口。没有人能替代妈妈。珍惜与她在一起的每一分每一秒吧。尽管有时，她可能不是我们最好的朋友，可能不同意我们的想法，但她仍然是妈妈！！！她总是陪在你身边，听你的伤心事，听你吹牛，听你的挫折……。让我们自问一下，你曾抽出过足够的时间来陪她，听她讲厨房忙碌的“伤心事”，听她讲她的疲劳吗？？？就算你与她意见有分跂，也要得体，充满爱意，对她表示应有的敬意。一旦她离开了，留给我们的就只有对往昔的美好回忆，还有就是终生的遗憾。
不要认为，贴近你心的这些事情都是理所当然。爱她，要甚于爱你自己。生命中没有了她，将失去意义……
多少人都有着这样的经历呀！不要以为，与你心最近，你就理所应得。爱她，要甚于爱你自己。现在，拿起电话，给妈妈打一个电话吧；或者，给妈妈做一道她喜欢的菜吧；或者，给自己放假，去陪妈妈聊聊天吧……一切你都可以做到，而妈妈们缺少的也正是这些，但她们常常将这份渴望藏于心中。
