When you were 11 year old, she took you and your friends to

When you were 50, she fell ill and needed you to take care
of her. You thanked her by reading about the burden parents become to their
children.
And then one day she quietly died.
And everything you never did came crashing down like
thunder.
“Rock me baby, rock me all night long.”
“The hand who rocks the cradle… may rock the world.”
Let us take a moment of the time just to pay tribute and
show appreciation to the person called mom though some may not it openly to
their mother. There’s 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, your bragging, your frustrations, etc. Ask yourself…. Have you put
aside enough times 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.
Don’t take for granted the things closest to your heart.
Love her more than you love yourself. Life is meaningless without her?

我们能够有机会一起去追寻北极光，在我们离开这个世界之前，在世界每个角落刻下我们的记号… 我们拥有好多好多的照片…
王子总在公共场合上毫不犹豫地牵起公主的手,然后一脸满足的微笑…
老了以后，翻着一张张的照片，一起回忆这一辈子的快乐…
不过我想如果我的王子出现的话，我会答应你，我不会让你一个人走在回家的路… 不会让你觉得孤独…
也许我不能为你做什么，可是我会一直陪着你…
