The yellow shirt

The story mainly tells us the passing of a yellow shirt. The mother and daughter pass it secretly as a way to communicate and show their love. When the mother had passed away, the yellow shirt became a vivid reminder of the love-filled game and was passed to the next generation.

The yellow shirt is actually a symbol of love that is passed generation by generation. It has also reflected all the characteristics love has. Love needs to be cared. Love should be passed on. Love should be added to more meanings. The beautiful surface may fade away, but the spirit of love will never do. Passing the yellow shirt is the connection of their love. It formed the story which is full of love.

Mother love is the most unselfish emotion in the world. But we often take it for granted. We always think that caring for us is something our mothers should do. Things are changing eventually, however, in recent years, we tend to do something more practical on Mothers’ Day instead of just giving presents. We tend to care for them more in return. We are now learning to be grateful and to give love while receiving it.

Family love gives people strength to overcome difficulties and carry on. They will always be there for us. Friends may be forgotten as time goes by, lovers may leave because of some sort of reasons. Families, however, are different. They may pass away one day, but their love and care remain.

Nowadays generation gap has become a major problem that exists in most families which have a teenage child. That brings most parents headache. The reason is that they fail to find a proper way to communicate. On one side, parents sometimes do underestimate their teenage children, they tend to forget what they themselves felt when they were young. On the other side, children fail to understand their parents by thinking on their position. My mother and I never have problems communicating with each other. When we have disagreements, we either talk directly or write to each other. We always try to stand on the other persons position and think in real situation, “what will I do when facing this?” in this way, we not only just solved the problem of generation gap, but also has shortened the distance between us. People who know us always say we look just like sisters. We have achieved a perfect relationship between mother and daughter by our efforts of understanding one another.

People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Families are the ones that accompany us whole life through. We are growing up day by day, thus should learn to cherish and reward. We should also pass on the love we feel not only to our families, but also to people around us and people in the society. For together, we form a big family, we should spare no effort to make it a better place for us all to live in.

一件黄衬衫

这个故事以一件黄衬衫在母女之前私密的传递为主线展开，母女两个借传递黄衬衫来彼此交流，表达对彼此的关心和爱。当故事中的母亲去世后，黄衬衫便成了这个充满了爱的温馨的“小游戏”的最好例证，被女儿传给了下一代。

这件黄衬衫实际上就是代代相传的爱的象征，它同时也反映了爱的所有特点：爱需要被呵护，爱需要被传递，爱需要被不断地赋予更多的意义。时光匆匆，浮华消逝，但爱的真谛将永存心间。黄衬衫的传递便是对她们爱的维系，同时也让爱意溢满了这个故事。

母爱是这世界上最无私的爱，但我们常常对这爱不以为意，我们总是认为妈妈理所应当照顾、爱护我们。但在近些年，我们对待母亲节也悄悄起了变化----我们更倾向于做一些实际的事情来报答妈妈，而不是仅仅送上一份小礼物。我们现在在学习感恩，学习在接受爱的同时给予爱。

来自于家庭的爱给人力量以度过难关，继续前行。朋友也许会因关系疏远而被淡出记忆，爱人可能会因众多因素而各奔东西，家人却不同。家人总是会在身边默默地守护我们，即使有一天他们离开了人世，他们的关爱也将永远铭刻在我们脑海，铭记在我们心田。

现如今，“代沟”已经成为了存在于大多数家庭的一个重大问题，这令无数家长头疼不已。而“代沟”产生的最主要原因是家长和青少年孩子之间缺少一种合适且有效的沟通方法。从家长的角度上看，他们确实有时低估了自己十几岁的孩子，他们甚至已经完全不记得自己还是个孩子时的心中所想；而从孩子的角度上看，他们也因为没有尝试站在家长的立场上看待问题而对父母产生误解。我和我妈妈从来不被“代沟”所困扰，我们总是可以实现“无障碍沟通”，一旦出现分歧，我们通过或直接交流或写信的方式，迅速解决问题。通过站在对方的立场看待问题，我们不但找到了解决“代沟”的途径，更拉近了妈妈和我之前的距离，认识我们的人都说我俩看起来就像姐妹----这是我们通过努力，在互相理解基础上建立起的一种最完美的母女关系。

人们在我们生命中或长或短的存在着，家人会陪伴我们度过一生。我们在一天天地长大，因此也要学会珍惜和感恩；同时，我们还要将感受到的爱传递下去，不只是对我们的家人，还有社会中和身边的每一个人，因为，我们一起构筑了一个大家庭，我们要不遗余力地让这家庭更和谐美好。
