第58节:Motherhood/母性(5)



系列专题:《点亮生活的智慧:人生之钥》

  Provided she is no stranger to warm and selfless feelings, a mother will love her children for all that is contained within them, or even, at times, in spite of it; remaining constant even in the worst scenarios.

  When a child has contrived to destroy anything in it worthy of affection, its mother, with deep regret, will continue to love it, partly for what it was, partly for what it might have been.

  At the age of seventy, my mother was badly injured in a motor accident. I was reached by a message that she was on life support; both her legs were to be amputated.

  “The poor woman,” said my well-meaning neighbour. “Wouldn’t it be better if she was just left to die?”

  Before her last operation, she was able to talk to me. “I don’t know what I’m fighting for,”she said. “What sort of life do I have to look forward to, even if I do survive?”

  “That’s for you to decide,” I answered. “Only you can tell whether life in a wheel-chair would still be worth living.”

  She thought for a while about this, and then she stated: “What I value most is having my children. Follow you as you grow older; see how your lives develop. Be there for you when you need me.”

  She survived. She recovered. Today, many years later, she lives alone, in an adapted flat, where her daily routine is much the same as usual. Except, amazingly, she’s happier than before: enjoying a late blossoming.

  With brand new friendships and interests to sustain her, she depends on no one; her life is her own.

  But now and then she remembers that critical moment, when a mother’s love for her children made all the difference.
