Do you know what your mom did for you?

I saw this online and translated this at 3:00am in my apartment in NY to share with anyone who read this from my heart. I love my mom. Do you?

主題: 母親的一生為你做了什麼你知道嗎?

When you were 11, she accompanied with you and your friend to watch movie; in return, you asked her to sit in the next row.

當你13歲的時候,她建議你去把頭發剪了,而你說她不懂什麼是現在的時髦發型
When you were 13, she recommended you to cut your hair; you said she didn’t know what the hottest style was.

當你14歲的時候,她付了你一個月的夏令營費用,而你卻一整月沒有打一個電話給她
When you were 14, she paid for your summer camp; but you didn’t even give her one phone call for the whole summer.

當你15歲的時候,她下班回家想擁抱你一下,而作為報答,你轉身進屋把門插上了
When you were 15, she wanted to give you a hug when she got off from work; in return, you went to your room and closed the door.

當你17歲的時候,她在等一個重要的電話,而你卻抱著電話和你的朋友聊了一晚上
When you were 17, she was waiting for an important phone call; but you were chatting with your buddy for whole night.

當你18歲的時候,她為你高中畢業感動得流下眼瓷A而你卻跟朋友在外聚會到天亮
When you were 18, she was touched and cried to watch you graduated from high school; but you were stayed until next morning with your friends.

當你19歲的時候,她付了你的大學學費又送你到學校,你要求她在遠點下車怕同學看見笑話
When you were 19, she paid for your college tuition; but you asked her to drop you further from the school entry to avoid laughing from your classmates.

當你40歲的時候,她給你打電話,說今天生日,而你回答:媽,我很忙沒時間
When you were 40, she called you and said happy birthday; but you replied, “I am busy.”

當你50歲的時候,她常常患病,需要你的看護,而你卻為你的兒女在奔波
When you 50, she was sick and need your attention; but you were too busy for your own kids.

終于有一天,她去世了,突然你想起了所有從來沒做過的事,它們像榔頭般痛擊著你的心
如果母親仍健在,那麼別忘了比以往任何時候都更深地愛著她。
如果她已經不幸永遠離開了你,那麼你必須記得,母愛才是天底下最無私的愛
Someday, she will be gone and you will realize you can no longer to repay her for everything she has done for you. When you still can, you should love her as you ever did.
