As Mother's Day approaches, we have collected clips of students spending time with their mothers, and it turns out that the warmest love is hidden in the ordinary daily life.
PART 01
A reconciliation between us.
The “war” with my mom always came and went suddenly, and we made a tacit “truce”.
@Cecily:When I stayed up late watching TV on the weekend, my mom insisted that I take an early night. I was impatient and contradicted her, and after I calmed down, I realized that she was thinking about my health. Just as I went to apologize, I found her already waiting for me with milk in her hand, her eyes full of concern, and the conflict was quietly resolved. This small moment made me realize that even if I lost my temper, she always tolerated me silently.
@Joanna:After failing my math test, I lost my temper at my mom's scolding. I was silent at home for two days until I found my mom's canned oranges in the refrigerator, with a post-it note that read, “I stabbed my hand while peeling the oranges, so I made them into canned goods. It was only then that I realized that my mother, who was not good with words, had always expressed her love through her actions.
@Wolf:On Mother's Day, I was playing a game, and when my father asked about the goal of the game, I blurted out “Beat ‘Mom’”. In fact, it was just a character in the game, but my mother happened to hear those two words. Her voice was instantly cold “Is that your gift to me?” Without waiting for me to explain, she turned around and left. Looking at my mother's back, I suddenly realized that some unintentional words can be hurtful, and the important thing is the hurt feelings, I owe her a sincere apology.
PART 02
Guardianship is solid dependence
Their love is never spoken, but they always reach out a helping hand when you stumble.
@Harvey:I was busy preparing for the IGCSE Chinese exam. In a phone call with my mom, she expressed her concern for me and said, “No matter how well you do, she will always support you!”
@Sonia:When I got the flu, my mom stayed by my side every step of the way, not caring whether she would be infected or not, even when I vomited, she didn't mind, but just quickly cleaned up and stayed by my side. I suddenly realized that in this world, someone really loved me more than herself.
@Patrick:Once before I left for school, my mom handed me an umbrella and said it would rain; I stubbornly refused and left the house without looking back. Soon after, the sky began to rain heavily, I stood in the rain in a daze, and that night I started a high fever. I saw my mom's anxious figure in the daze, and she, who usually seldom drove, drove me to the hospital as fast as she could this time. I suddenly remembered my mom's advice that I had dismissed as nagging, and I couldn't help but wet my eyes.
@Julie:The days when I was sick and had a stomachache, my mom's love was hidden in every detail. Six o'clock in the morning, my schoolbag side pocket will always appear on time stomach pills; gym class stomach ache, the desk can always be found on the thermos and baby warmer; every time the stomach ache attack, she brought millet porridge is always just the right temperature, it turns out that every ten minutes she will go to test the temperature.
@Vito:On the basketball court, my mom always practiced with me silently. She had bad knees and always made a noise when she bent over, but she smiled and said it was just like moving her muscles. Looking at her silhouette stretched by the setting sun, I suddenly realized that my mother had always been ready to support me at every shot, just as she did when she picked me up as a toddler. On the way home, she left me cold mineral water, but she herself drank warm water heated by the sun. These silent payments hid the deepest love.
@Lydia:When I had a sudden high fever late at night, my mom immediately rushed upstairs when she heard my call. Her cold hand touched my burning forehead, and her eyes were full of heartache. Although her back was no longer straight, she still carried me steadily. When feeding the water, she repeatedly tested the temperature until it was just right. These meticulous care made me realize that my mother's back may no longer be strong, but her love will always be my most solid support.
PART 03
Expressions of Love
Some love is never vocalized, hidden in every little thing, but at some point you suddenly read its deep meaning.
@Charles:My mom always guessed what I wanted, and every time I wanted something, it didn't take long for me to receive it. Later, I realized that whenever I looked at something I liked a few times, my mom would silently remember it in her heart.
@Angela:While talking to my mom on the phone at school, I mentioned that I wanted to snack on pecan brittle. When I got out of school on Friday, I saw my mom with it in her hand. Turns out she had been keeping it in mind and her heart was filled with warmth.
@Smily:When I was making dumplings with my mom on the weekend, she laughed at me and called me an “abstractionist” because my finished product was always crooked. These seemingly ordinary everyday things make me feel the truest happiness.
@Niki:The night of the monthly test did not do well, I lay on the desk in tears. Mom did not say too many words of comfort, to help me analyze the wrong questions: “This question is the right idea, is careless, next time pay attention to good.” Finished patting me on the shoulder and went out. When I finished my homework, I found a cup of hot milk by the window, pressed with a note: “Rest early and start again tomorrow.” At that moment, I realized that my mother's love was hidden in her silent care, giving me strength and hope.
@Andy:When I was a kid, I always thought my mom had magic - waking up every day with her clothes on, toothpaste squeezed, and breakfast still steaming hot. Until one day in a dream I experienced my mom's life: squeezing toothpaste, washing dishes, preparing breakfast ...... Just one morning exhausted me. When I woke up, I realized that there is no such thing as magic, and that my mom's day-to-day drudgery is all because of love.
@Miya:When I refused to take piano lessons for the seventh time, my mom didn't force me. Early the next morning, I was awakened by the intermittent sound of the piano - it turned out that my mom was practicing with her rusty fingering on a piano that had been unused for years.” Learning to play the piano relaxes the brain, so I'll give you a tour!” She took my hand and played the childhood song “Little Star” together. From that day on, we played the piano together every night at 8:00 p.m. Gradually, I began to like music. When I took the initiative to say I wanted to learn the piano, my mom smiled and said, “I've already enrolled you in a class.” It turned out that she had been waiting for me to discover the beauty of music on my own in the gentlest way.
PART 04
My mom is my friend
She became a great companion, but was able to tune back into motherhood right on time at every moment I needed it.
@Ivy:Every night my mom and I would skateboard in the neighborhood. Although mom often fell down, she always smiled and got up to keep practicing. My favorite thing to do was to stand behind the skateboard and push her, and watching her having fun made me happy too. It was such a simple and happy time that made me realize that my mom's willingness to try my hobby was the warmest companionship.
@Elizabeth:When I was doing my homework, I was puzzled by an English question, and just when I wanted to ask her for help, she said confidently, “You don't know how to do this?” But when she finished reading the question, she scratched her head in embarrassment and admitted that she didn't know it either. It was really cute to watch her! In the end, she asked my English teacher for help. This incident made me realize that although my mom is not omnipotent, she always tries her best to help me.
@Sunny:Shopping is a common hobby for my mom and me. Whenever we go to a boutique, we play a price guessing game and sometimes we are happy for each other's tacit understanding. My mom respects me and always knocks on the door when she enters my room. When I failed a math test, she never scolded me and always encouraged me by saying, “You'll do better next time. The little by little life together, let me realize that my mother is not only my shopping partner, but also the best friend who understands me the most.
@Eason:While eating at a restaurant with my mom, we came across a special squid ink dish. Mom mischievously poured the ink into her mouth and showed off her “big black teeth” to me. I followed suit. We had a lot of fun, comparing whose teeth were blacker. These seemingly childish games are the love of my mom, who is willing to go crazy with me and play with me. The most precious thing is not the food, but the happy memories created with my mom.
