为母亲祈祷，为妈妈祝福

Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have
passed away. I have heard these sons and daughters say they never
fully appreciated their mothers until it was too late to tell them.
如今我不再年轻，一些朋友的母亲已经去世。我曾听这些子女们说过，他们从没有向母亲充分表达过他们的感激之情，而待到要告诉时为时已晚了。
I am blessed
with the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each
day. My mother does not change, but I do. As I grow older and
wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that
I am unable to speak these words in her presence, but they flow
easily from my pen.
幸运的是，我亲爱的母亲依然健在。我对她的感情与日俱增。母亲没有变，而我却变了。随着年岁的增长，我越来越懂事了，我认识道她是个非常了不起的人。这些话在她面前我难以启齿，但在笔下却可以轻易地写出来，这令我感到多么难过.
How does a
daughter begin to thank her mother for life itself? For the love,
patience and just plain hard work that go into raising a child? For
running after a toddler, for understanding a moody teenager, for
tolerating a college student who knows everything? For waiting for
the day when a daughter realizes her mother really is?
一个女儿该怎样开口感谢她的母亲所给予的生命？感谢她在抚养孩子时所付出的爱、耐心以及无私的辛勤劳动？感谢她跟在蹒跚学步的孩子身后奔跑，对情绪不定的少女的理解，以及对一个自以为是的大学生的宽容？感谢她等待女儿认识到她真实一位好母亲的这一天？
How does a
grown woman thank for a mother for continuing to be a mother? For
being ready with advice when asked or remaining silent when it is
most appreciated? For not saying: ”I told you so”, when she
could have uttered these words dozens of times? For being
essentially herself—loving, thoughtful, patient, and forgiving?
一个成年女子该怎样感谢母亲依然如故的角色？感谢在被问到时她会及时提供良言，而在不需要时她会保持沉默？感谢她没有说：“我告诉过你，”而她本来可以说上许多次？感谢她始终不变的爱心、体贴周到、耐心与宽容厚道？
I don’t
know how, dear God, except to bless her as richly as she deserves
and to help me live up to the example she has set. I pray that I
will look as good in the eyes of my children as my mother looks in
mine.
我不知道该怎样来表达，亲爱的上帝，除了请求你好好地保佑她——那时她该得到的——并帮助我朝她作出的榜样看齐。我祈愿在孩子的眼里我会如同母亲在我眼里一般好。
