I am shocked and
feel very upset when I heard that my mother in law got breast cancer.
My mother in law ,
approaching to her 80 year-old. is a very kind and considerate mother. who ever
lived with us for more
than seven years as a baby-sitter to take care of my daughter , a cook for us
. a nanny to do housework.To use this
wording is not saying what she was doing is in a subservient role .but
to express my gratitution to her.as well as to
show how great It is for a mother's love.
She looks
like a well-educated person though She is indeed illiterate. I guess that is
sort of reflection of her strong heart .She is light of foot and
in good health.That is
impression she leaves .
I may mention
her to my colleague or friends but rarely think to write something about her .till the
day I got this news.
Nowadays Many
soap opera are filmed to record the subtle relationship between daughter in law
and mother in law. It is easy to find such kind of TV series on when you change the
channels . I have to say I love to watch them . I can not avoid laughing when I
am watching as They are all based on real life .
I am puzzled
why It is difficult to handle the relationship .Is it because that people of the
same sex repel?
Fortunately I
have not met those headaches. I am a very frank person and She is shrewd . From
this point of view ,probably we are complementary. In her eyes I
am just like a child, older than my daughter . She took on all housework when I
was busy . unlucky ,It seemed I was always busy.
Therefore I seldom did
that. She made green tea for me when I was doing
my working or watching TV . She prepared fruit and put into my handbag on the
early morning before I was ready to leave home.She did a lot a lot for
us.
She came to
shanghai two month before I was giving the birth. the year, She was at her
age of 67 . That was our second time to meet.We had one
month running period. Basically we watched each other and rarely talk as
we were not familiar each other. we needed time to be used to each
other.Also I can
not understand what she was saying due to we were from different places and she
can not speak mandarin. His son acted as agent to translate
.
The next month
we started to communicate , She tried to cook sth I like . but still there were
not too much talk. till 2 month later after I had my daughter our relationship
become much closer than ever before. we exchanged a
lot. She talked about her relatives and so did I . I regarded her as my mother
in my heart.
During the
years we stayed together We had quarrels but most of time we got along very
well. Many sweet memories are emerging in my mind when recalled . Remembering
once She by accident left the home without bringing key on hand . The door was
closed with my four months old daughter sleeping in the
bed.She was very
afraid that anything unexpected happen to my daughter. She even can
not wait for a person who could help her to open the
door.She did an
unbelievable thing.
Our apartment was
in 7th floor. She asked the neighbor to open their window and then she climbed
from their window to ours. My god.I was thrilled
even when she told us her experience at that night. Even for me I am not sure
if I dare to do that .What encouraged her to do so? what was in her mind when
she did that? you know , She could die if one step is on the air.
Nothing but love I know. What a great grandmother she is.
Now She had
got malignant tumor at her age of 78. Despite She was performed an operation and
under several times chemotherapy. We are not sure what awaits
her. My friend said
9 of 10 people who got cancer died of scary rather than disease itself. She seems optimistic when I called her. That is good
sign for recover . I hope she is strong
enough to fight against the disease and can create a
miracles.
Pray for her
and God Bless her!!!
