编者按：我们的母亲或许不知道什么是感恩节，但是我们的一点点感激却会让她们窝心很久。不要以为人生总有很多以后，更不要等我们想谢的时候，却无人可谢。
Love Your Mother 深爱母亲（双语）

Let us take a moment
of the time just to pay tribute and show appreciation to the person
called MOM though some may not say it openly to their mother.
There's no substitute for her. Cherish every single moment. Though
at times she may not be the best of friends, may not agree to our
thoughts, she is still your mother!
让我们花一点点时间，对那个被我们叫做"妈"的人表达敬意和感激之情，虽然有些人当着面说不出口。她是不可替代的。珍惜与她在一起的每一时刻吧。虽然有时候，她可能不是我们最好的朋友，可能不同意我们的想法，但她依然是你的妈妈！
Your mother will be
there for you; to listen to your woes, your brags, your
frustrations, etc. Ask yourself "Have you put aside enough time for
her, to listen to her 'blues' of working in the kitchen, her
tiredness?"
你的妈妈始终陪伴你身边，听你倾诉伤心事，听你神吹海侃，听你诉说受挫的沮丧......扪心自问，"是否曾经抽出过足够的时间陪伴她，听听她讲围着灶台转的'烦心事'，听听她讲她有多疲惫？"
Be tactful, loving
and still show her due respect, though you may have a different
view from hers. Once gone, only fond memories of the past and also
regrets will be left.
即使你与她意见不一，也要委婉一些，充满爱心，对她表示出应有的尊敬。一旦她去了，剩下的就只有对过去岁月的美好回忆和无尽的遗憾。
Do not take for
granted the things closest to your heart. Love her more than you
love yourself. Life is meaningless without her.
不要以为，与你心最近，你就理所应得。爱她要甚于爱你自己。没有了她，生命将毫无意义。
