My mother was dying of leukemia(白血病). My two older sisters, father, and I had shared the last three weeks in the hospital room with her. In two years, she had gone from a strong woman to a helpless patient. For the last three days, she had been in a state of sorrow and lifelessness. She could no longer speak through her dry lips.
On the night of the third day, I rushed purposefully to the church. There I gave God permission to take my mother. I could no longer stand seeing her suffer, so I prayed for the permanent healing that only death can bring. I returned to the room with a peaceful heart, for I knew by the next morning my mother would also be at peace. I had the best night’s sleep in weeks. The next morning, a sorrowful noise and a small movement made me realize that my mother was still alive.
My mother rolled onto her side, and looked into the newly risen sun. Then, as the sun made shining lights in her eyes, she licked her dry lips, and said “Gee, it’s going to be a beautiful day today”. Being the youngest and fastest, I was first to her bedside. “Mom, it’s me, Jerry, do you recognize me ?” “Of course I do Jerry”, she replied. We all took our turns talking to her. It was a joyful day of laughing, and celebrating life with our family. That night we all went to sleep peacefully.
Unfortunately, the next few days were busy with funeral(葬礼) plans. It was only after the funeral that I stopped to think of what had happened. God answered my prayer in his time, in his way. Now, my memories of my mother are of a day of laughing. Since that time I have had many rocky roads, financial failure,a divorce,the loss of my father. But throughout it all, regardless of how stormy the night might be, I know that through God’s love, I can awaken the next morning to a newly risen sun, and say “Gee, it’s going to be a beautiful day today.”
