再過一個月就是母親節了
準備好了嗎？
發現很有趣的一個現象是大家通常會說：「回娘家，回我媽家，回外婆家，回阿嬤家」
爸爸們跟阿公們每每聽到，不知道會不會吃醋
不過很顯而易見的是，即便家庭主要的經濟支柱可能是男人，女人還是整個家庭的靈魂
累了，餓了，痛了，我們通常回去找的是媽媽，而不是爸爸
所以阿，平常就要對媽媽好一點，母親節只是一年中提醒你要特別去愛一下媽媽
最近身邊的親友陸續送走老人家
傷痛之餘，其實我們會發現自己對於親近的家人似乎ㄧ無所知
（朋友一家人對於老爸爸年輕時的祕密的生平過去抓破腦也想不出...）
所以
我問老毛：「你媽生日幾號？」「不知道啊，七月吧」
「你媽愛吃什麼？」「ㄜ，應該是日本料理吧？」
「你確定嗎？她開刀後魚蝦蟹都不吃了啊」「那是開刀後，之前應該日式食物都ok」「你確定嗎？」
「那你爸生日幾號？」「不記得了」
「你爸愛吃什麼？」「我媽煮的吧？」
哎呀，傷腦筋，老毛你這樣不行啦....
另一方面，以為人母的角度來說，這首歌寫得很貼切
我們盡力成為一個母親，這也是一生的功課
儘管不能做到滿分，但，我們會盡力在孩子需要我們的時候，給予最適切的陪伴與照顧
努力成為一個更美好的人
In My Daughter's Eyes by Martina Mcbride
In my daughter's eyes,
I am a hero,
I am strong and wise,
And I know no fear,
But the truth is plain to see,
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I want to be,
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes,
Everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace,
This miracle god gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak,
I find reason to believe,
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand around my finger,
How it puts a smile in my heart,
Everything becomes a little clearer,
I realize what life is all about,
It's hanging on when your heart is had enough,
It's giving more when you feel like giving up,
I've seen the light,
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes,
I can see the future,
A reflection of who I am and what will be,
And though she'll grow and someday leave,
Maybe raise a family,
When i'm gone I hope you see,
How happy she made me,
For i'll be there,
In my daughter's eyes
