When We Give Thanks
We always celebrated Dad’s November birthday on Thanksgiving
Day, even after he entered a nursing home. As years went on, these
events took on a double meaning for me—a traditional birthday party
for Dad, and a personal thanking for all he had been to me in my
life.
When we knew that it might be his last birthday, the whole
family decided to rearrange Thanksgiving plans and come together
for a huge Grandpa Simon birthday celebration at the nursing home.
It was a crowded party with lots of noise and abundant food. Dad
was having the time of his life. He was a marvelous storyteller,
and here was the biggest captive audience he’d ever had. The party
crackled around him.
During a quiet moment, I announced that it was now Dad’s turn
to listen to some stories for a change. I wanted everyone to tell
Grandpa Simon what we loved about him. The room became still, and
even Dad was quiet as his family crowded around him, like subjects
around the throne.
One after another, people told stories from their hearts,
while Dad listened with wet, flashing blue eyes. People recalled
all kinds of lost memories—stories about when they were little,
stories about when Dad was young, stories that are shared family
treasures. Then someone told the story of Mother and the vase…
My mother was a short stocky woman, who always bent over the
table to read the newspaper. One night, Dad placed her precious
gold plated vase, a family heirloom, right on her fanny at her
body’s angle. She couldn’t move, couldn’t stop from laughing, and
screamed for help through her tears, while the vase teetered
precariously. We all rolled on the floor laughing until Dad finally
rescued the vase.
The stories flowed. Each one seemed to trigger the memory of
two more. Even the littlest grandchildren couldn’t wait to tell Dad
why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds
of people in his life, here was our chance to celebrate him.
A few months later, at Dad’s memorial service, we more fully
realized what we had given Dad that night. Those were the stories
people normally tell at a funeral, after a loved one is no longer
around to hear the words. They are told, then, full of tears, with
the hope that the departed will somehow hear the outpouring of
love. But we had given those loving memories to Dad in life, told
through laughter, accompanied by hugs and joy. He had them to hold
and roll over in his mind during his last months and days.
Words do matter, and they are enough. We just need to say
them, to speak them publicly to the ones we love, for everyone else
to hear. That’s the way to give back love, and our chance to
celebrate a person in life.
感恩的机会
语言就是这样重要，它们足以表达我们的爱。我们只需要说出来，开口把爱告诉所爱的人，让其他每一个人听见。这是回报爱的方式，也是我们向活着的人表达感恩的机会。
The Priceless Mother Love
One night when my wife was preparing dinner, our little son
took a piece of paper to her which read: For washing the car—$5.
00
Playing with little sister—$0. 25
Getting a good report card—$5. 00
For sweeping the common corridor—$2. 00
Total—$12. 25
His mother looked at him standing there expecting payment. She
picked up the pen and turning the paper over, this is what she
wrote: For 10 months I carried you—No charge
For the night I sat up with you and prayed for you—No
charge
For the toys, food and clothes—No charge
The full cost of my love—No charge
When he finished reading, he had big tears in his eyes. He
looked at his mother and said, “Mummy, I love you!” Then he took
the pen and in great big letters wrote on the “bill” : “All paid.
”
母爱无价
一天晚上,妻子在厨房准备晚餐的时候,我们的小儿子拿着一张纸走向他母亲,上面写道：
洗车——5美元
陪妹妹玩——0.25美元
获得良好的成绩单——5美元
打扫过道——2美元
总计应得——12.25美元
妈妈看着儿子,他正满怀希望地站在那儿等着拿钱。她拿起钢笔把儿子写过的纸翻过来，在上面写道：
我为了生你怀胎10月——免费
我熬夜陪着你、为你祈祷的那天晚上——免费
为你购买的那些玩具、食物和衣服——免费
我为你付出的全部的爱——免费
