My mother loved strawberry milkshakes. I always dropped by to see her and surprise her with her favourite desserts.
In her later years, she lived in a life-care center because of Alzheimer’s disease(阿尔茨海默病). One day, I was heartbroken to know that my mom no longer knew I was her son. She would often ask, “Now, what was your name?” I would tell her my name and that I was her son. She would smile and reach for my hand.
When I realized that my mother’s condition was getting worse, I wrote her a letter and told her some things I had wanted to say for a long time but had been too shy to say. My father told me that she often spent hours reading and rereading that letter.
On one of my visits, I stopped by the local shop and bought my mother a strawberry milkshake. She drank it slowly one bit at a time. After she finished the milkshake, she lay down on the bed for a rest, remaining awake and satisfied.
Without a word, I pulled a chair close to the bed and reached over to hold her hand. After about 10 minutes, I felt she gave my hand a squeeze(捏)… three squeezes. They were short, but I knew what she was saying without having to hear any words.
I gave her hand two soft squeezes. She turned her head and gave me a loving smile. She quietly said, “It’s important to have someone who loves you.”
I cried and gave her a warm hug, telling her how much I loved her.
My mother passed away shortly after that. Very few words were spoken that day, but those she spoke were words of gold. I will always treasure those special moments.
