My mother loved strawberry milkshakes. I always dropped in to see her and surprise her with her favorite desserts.
In her later years, she lived in a life-care center due to Alzheimer’s Disease. 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?” and I would tell her my name and that I was her son. She would smile and reach for my hand. 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 her give my hand a squeeze (挤压)... 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. They were tears of joy. I gave her a warm hug, told her how much I loved her, and left.
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.

我的妈妈喜欢草莓奶昔。我总是顺道去看望她，并用她最喜欢的甜点给她惊喜。
在她晚年时，由于患有阿尔茨海默病，她住在一个生活护理中心。有一天，我伤心地得知妈妈不再认识我是她的儿子了。她会经常问：“现在，你叫什么名字？”我会告诉她我的名字，并且说我是她的儿子。她会微笑着伸手握住我的手。在我一次探望她的时候，我在当地的商店停留并给妈妈买了一杯草莓奶昔。她慢慢地、一口一口地喝着。喝完奶昔后，她躺在床上休息，一直醒着，而且很满足。
我一言不发，把一把椅子拉到床边，伸手握住她的手。大约10分钟后，我感觉到她捏了捏我的手……捏了三下。这些捏的动作很短暂，但我不用听任何话语就知道她在说什么。
我轻轻地捏了捏她的手两下。她转过头，给了我一个充满爱意的微笑。她轻声说：“有一个爱你的人很重要。”我哭了。那是喜悦的泪水。我给了她一个温暖的拥抱，告诉她我有多爱她，然后离开了。
在那之后不久，我的妈妈就去世了。那天几乎没说什么话，但她说的那些话却如金子般珍贵。我会永远珍惜那些特别的时刻。
