还是个婴儿的时候，我就被一对有爱心的人收养了，他们愿意把我带到他们的家里。他们不仅成为了我的父母，也成为了我最好的朋友。当我渐渐长大，我知道了我的生母怀我的时候还很年轻，没有能力抚养我。我能理解这些，并且对这一切充满了感激。毕竟，我最终遇上了一对互敬互爱的人，而且他们爱我。3年后，这对夫妇又收养了另外一个孩子——洛里。
直到9岁，我才知道为什么我的父母没要一个他们自己的孩子。那时，爸爸解释说他们尝试过很多次，但是都没有成功。妈妈患有糖尿病是其中的一部分原因。那时我还很年轻，不能真正理解那意味着什么。我渐渐长大，看到妈妈为自己打针，我不明白为什么只有她一个人这样做。每天我看到的都是一个坚强、美丽、健康，一生都在帮助别人的女人。
我13岁的时候，一切都改变了。
首先是从妈妈脚趾上的一个小水疱开始的。或许，这看上去没什么大不了的，但是最终的结果却是妈妈失去了一个脚趾。不久之后，妈妈又得了中风，而就在她中风刚好时，她又不得不接受一条腿被切除的手术。
这一切仅仅在3年之内全部发生了。我们家为此付出的代价简直难以置信。妈妈在5家医院进进出出，每家医院都竭尽全力帮助她恢复健康。有时妈妈会在家里住上几个月，但是这期间总会有一些不妙的事情发生。假日里，爸爸、妹妹和我就在医院的病房里陪她。有一年的感恩节，我们还在医院里一起吃火鸡；还有一年的圣诞节，我们把所有的礼物都带到医院，让她看着我们把礼物打开。
我绞尽脑汁想要使她感觉舒服一点，但是一切努力都是徒劳。在家里，照看小妹妹成了我的工作，同时我还要打扫房间、洗衣服、做饭。我觉得这对我不公平，便迁怒于爸爸。我所有的朋友都能在周五晚上出去玩，而我却不得不待在家里，充当“妈妈”的角色，我讨厌这个事实。
妈妈躺在医院的病床上，我还要去上学，这对我来说就更困难了。我现在才只有16岁。幸运的是，妈妈出席了我的生日聚会，而且我永远也不会忘记，当我拥抱她的时候，我们母女泪流满面的情景。我至今都对与妈妈在一起的那一刻充满着感激，因为那是4年来，我所见到的妈妈最开心的时刻。
但是快乐的日子再一次变成了悲伤。6月15日，我没去上学，而是留在家里照顾她。她再一次住进了医院。刚一开始，没有人能想到她出现了什么问题。妈妈在重症特护病房里一连待了一星期。后来她开始好起来，但是7月10日，她的病情又变得很严重，到11日时，她已徘徊在生死线上。
病情越来越难处理。每一次当她濒临死亡时，她都能起死回生，甚至显得更好些。
当医生们最终找到了她病情恶化的原因后，他们为她做了肾透析。似乎透析很有效果，8月17日，我们去医院看望她时，她的状况非常好。我离开的时候，吻了她，并对她说：“我爱您，妈妈。明天见。”
第二天早上6点30分，我们接到医院的电话，被告知妈妈于昨晚去世了。
今天，妈妈离开我们已经一年多了，我与爸爸和妹妹的关系变得更加亲密。在接过了家庭责任的同时，我还因为妈妈得到了别人的尊敬。我仍然不能明白，妈妈是怎样完成她所有的事业的。
身为养女，我并不想找到自己的生身父母。我曾有过的父母才是我唯一需要的父母。他们教育我要坚强，要按照自己的心意做事。看着妈妈笑对痛苦，我懂得了，我可以成就任何事。我知道，妈妈正陪我一起走过生命中这段重要时光，她会引领我朝正确的方向前进。txt电子书分享平台
我爱您，妈妈（2）
“谢谢您，妈妈！我爱您，明天见。”
■ 心灵小语
有人说，人是为死而生的。然而我觉得，人是为爱而生的。成长的路上，曲曲折折总少不了真爱，亲人的、朋友的、陌生人的……父母的、手足的、爱人的、子女的……从此刻开始，留心身边的真爱吧，不要等到失去后，在绝望中再去回忆。
I Love You，Mom
Jennifer Clarke
“I love you； Mom。 See you tomorrow。” I said these words every day as I kissed my mom good…bye。 Most girls I know don’t tell their mothers they love them when they say good…bye。 But I wasn’t like girls I knew。
As a baby； I was adopted by two loving people who were willing to take me into their home。 They became not only my parents； but also my best friends。 As I was growing up； I learned that my birth mother was very young when she had me and wasn’t able to care for me。 I understood and was thankful。 After all； I ended up with two people who loved each other very much； and also loved me。 Three years later； they adopted another baby； Lori。
Until I was nine； I didn’t understand why my parents didn’t have any children of their own。 Then my father explained that they had tried many times； but they were unsuccessful。 Part of the reason was that my mom had diabetes。 Since I was young； I didn’t really understand what that meant。 As I was growing up； I would see my mom give herself shots and wonder why she was the only one who had to do that。 All I saw every day was a strong； beautiful； healthy woman； who spent her life helping people。
When I was thirteen； everything changed。
It started with a tiny blister on my mom’s toe。 This may seem like no big deal； but she ended up losing her toe。 Soon she suffered a stroke； and just as she began to recover from that； her leg had to be amputated。
This all took place over three years。 The toll this took on my family was unbelievable。 My mom was in and out of five hospitals； each doing their best to help her。 Sometimes she was home for a few months； but something always seemed to go wrong。 When the holidays came； my father； my sister and I spent the day in her hospital room。 One Thanksgiving we ate turkey there； and another Christmas we brought all our presents to the hospital so she could see us open them。
I tried my hardest to make her feel better； but nothing helped。 At home； taking care of my little sister became my iob； along with cleaning the house； doing the laundry and cooking the meals。 I thought it was unfair； and took it out on my father。 I hated the fact that all my friends went out on Friday nights； while I had to stay home and play “Mommy”。
It was even harder for me to go to school while my mom was lying in the hospital。 By now； I was sixteen。 Luckily she was there for my birthday party； and I’ll never forget hugging her as tears fell down both our faces。 I’m still thankful for that moment with my mother because it was the happiest I had seen her in four years。
我爱您，妈妈（3）
But； once again； the happy days became sad。 On June 15； I stayed home from school to take care of her。 Once again she was admitted to the hospital。 At first； no one could figure out what was wrong。 She remained in intensive care for a week。 She began to do better。 Then on July 10 she became very sick； and on the eleventh she almost died。
It was getting harder and harder to deal with。 Every time she got really sick； she would always e back and do even better。
When the doctors finally realized why she was so sick； they put her on dialysis； a treatment for her kidneys。 It seemed to work。 On August 17； we visited her and she was doing extremely well。 When I left； I kissed her and said； “I love you； Mom。 See you tomorrow。”
At 6：30 the next morning we receeived a call telling us she had passed away during the night。
Today； a little over a year since my mom left； I am closer to my father and sister。 And along with accepting my family responsibilities； I have gained respect for my mom。 I still don’t understand how she managed to acplish all she did。
As for being adopted； I have no desire to find my real parents。 The ones I have had are the only ones I’ll ever need。 They taught me to be strong and follow my heart。 Watching my mom smile through all her pain taught me that I can acplish anything。 I know she’s with me through this important time in my life； and she’ll guide me in the right direction。
“Thank you； Mom！ I love you and I’ll see you tomorrow。”
