1. A strange thing happened the other day. I was washing the
in our kitchen while my youngest son was
television in the living room. Suddenly, I heard an old
from my childhood playing on TV. As the
music came into the kitchen, I found myself singing a few
along with it, and even doing a little dance step or two while I put back the plates. Then I realized that this was the first time I had
in a very long while.
In the days following my Mother’s
, I had done my best to
again. I had hugged(拥抱) my children and said I loved them. I had
the Autumn leaves with their beautiful colors and taken in a few sunsets as well. My heart was still
and my moments of joy were few. More than once when I was on the road, passing a(n)
bike the one my Mother used to ride for many years my eyes would be full of tears. I missed her so much. It was so
not having her here in my life any more.
When I found myself dancing
even for a second, however, I
that I was doing just what my Mother would have wanted me to do. she would be
if I felt so sad. She would have wanted me to dance again, to sing again, to smile again, and to laugh again. She would have wanted me to
joy again and share it with others. She would have wanted me to LIVE and to LOVE here on Earth while my life
. And in that moment my heart began to
.
I promise you Mother that I will continue to heal(治愈) even
you. I will continue to sing. I will continue to dance. I will continue to say “yes” to life and to love all the
I have left here.
