Love, give a hug
Love doesn't need too many words, just a gentle hug is enough.
He is the only son of his family, a country boy who, after graduating from college, came to work in a big city. The year he got married, in this city also has a small home of its own, perhaps grown up, perhaps busy work, is rarely have time to go home, only the New Year's time, only from far away from the city to rush home for the New Year, stay a few days. Counting these years, on the mother's side, the day is only a few.
This time, he had to go home, because his mother was sick, the memory of his mother is very strong, very tough, this time, the disease came very suddenly.
The mother looked very haggard, her hair was all white, her thin body nestled in a white quilt, like a deciduous tree in winter, leaving only a bare pole, from the doctor's demeanor he could see that his mother's illness was very serious.
Where he sat, phone after phone, his cell phone rang one after another, it was company business. Mother said, "If you are busy, go back, there are nurses here.
He wanted to go, but he saw a few hopes and a few lingering in his mother's eyes. He was only eighteen when his father died, and his mother had never remarried, bringing him up and sending him to college was extremely difficult. The mother was sick and needed his care.
He resolutely turned off his cell phone, although staying in the hospital for a day, he might have to lose tens of thousands of dollars, and perhaps a lot fewer customers.
His mother was already too weak to walk, she had to do all kinds of tests for her illness, and had to travel to various departments in various hospitals, and he had to hold her in his wheelchair, and hold and then put her on the examination table.
It was the first time in his adult life that he hugged his mother. He lowered his head and picked up his very light mother. He never thought that his mother would be so light, less than fifty kilograms, his mother's hands hooked tightly around him, very unaccustomed to saying, can you hold it? Can't hold, just a little move over well.
He knew that his mother wanted him to save some strength, his mother's eyes always poured into their children, even if they were sick in bed, but also afraid that his son was more than tired.
At that moment, he was in tears, for so many years, he hugged his son, and hugged his wife, all for their pampering let him hug, but the only person he has not hugged the closest is his mother.
Mother was hospitalized for more than a month, he turned off the phone, and broke all contact with the outside world. He just quietly stayed with his mother, chatting with her, talking about interesting stories from the countryside, about his childhood mischief, about his wife and son ...... mother smiled every day, and her spirit got better day by day. Later, his mother was able to walk, but still, let him hug her, and she said she was used to his hugs.
After his mother was discharged from the hospital, he wanted to bring her to the city where he worked to live with them, but she was adamant that she would not, saying that the countryside was good and that she would take good care of herself, and that he wanted to see his young grandson get married. He knew very well that his mother did not want him to add too much trouble.
He began to be busy again, every day, but no matter how busy, the weekend, he will bring his wife, and children home, and, turned off the phone. His first action is to hug his mother, then, hand-made a sumptuous dinner ...... because he knows that his mother needs the warmth and care of her children more than anything else.
One year, when eating the New Year's Eve dinner, he prepared a large red envelope for his mother early, her mother refused, smiling, saying that children come home to see more, giving a minute hug is her best gift, a thousand dollars is hard to buy.
He has since understood that sometimes, love does not need too many words, just a gentle hug is enough.
