rthday in two days! Are you getting this for yourself?"

"No; I'm getting this for my mum。"

"For your mum?" She's a little surprised。

"Yes; because she g*e birth to me on that day。"

She was totally in shock at that。 "Oh! That's so nice of you!"

"She deserves it。 She suffered so much pain getting me out in the world。" I replied with a *ile。

"Really; it's very very nice of you to do this。 My daughter has never done this to me。" She continued while processing my store credit card application; "even myself; I never did this to my mother。" I simply didn't know what to say in reply。

The other shop assistant was done helping me with the gift wrap。 She then was told it was a gift for my mum for my birthday。 She was equally surprised; "you're buying a gift for your mum on your birthday? I've never heard of that。 You're so sweet!"

"I am just so lucky to h*e been born on that day。 Really I should thank my mum。" They then looked for a big bag to put the gift in so that it wouldn't get wet in the rain。 The second woman even brought out some free samples and g*e them to me and said; "that's for your mum and these are for your birthday。" We all *iled。

這不是我第一次在自己的生日送禮物給媽媽。想想,其實我的生日,對於她的意義更大。她忍受了至少九個月的極度不方便和分娩的巨痛——是她有生以來最痛的痛,來賦予我完整的生命,然後一直為我牽腸掛肚,默默付出,因我喜而更喜,因我悲而更悲。這個特別的日子,實在是因為她才更特別,也是因為她,我會好好珍惜生命。我的生日,送媽媽一份浪漫,也祝她快樂。
