A DIFFERENT MOTHER DAY
Before the Mother Day, I had a good plan to spend the day. My mother came back from other city about half a month ago. She still stayed at home because of the SARS. I knew she was very tired after her business. So I thought we would have a good time at home that day.
The last day before the Mother Day, we still stayed at home. When I was roaming in the internet, my mother was watching TV.
About nine or ten o’clock, she suddenly called me in a worried voice. She said she feel bad, very bad. I was very nervous. Her heart wasn’t very healthy. She lay on the bed, painfully. At once I dialed 120, the Emergency Treatment Center’s telephone number. Then, I dressed my clothes, took all the cash that I could find, called my father and my sisters.
Out of my home, I ran fast as possible as I could. Something hard on the ground made my feet painful. I could hear my heart beat and my heavy breath. One or two people on the street looked at me surprised. The lamps of the road weren’t bright enough. I felt my glasses jumped and the sound of my footstep was so harsh in the quiet night.
When I arrived at the place that I told the ambulance, I breathe heavily and couldn’t move a little. In fact it only spent me two or three minutes. The ambulance came after two minutes.
They were worried too. At first my mother’s cardiogram couldn’t be shown. She was faint.The doctor made some emergency treatment. Then we decided go to the nearest hospital. The lamps of our storey were just bad, the first floor and the two floor were in the darkness. It was very careful when they carried my mother went down the building. I held a quilt and a pillow, locked the door. I thought it was so terrible a night. But at that time I couldn’t cry, because only me, only me one beside my mother.
And my mother, I have to say, she was so calm and clear-headed. She told me called others, and told me took some money, and actually she closed my computer. And at that time I decided let it be.
I was so happy to see my elder sister in the hospital after we arrived 5 minutes. Her coming made me calm at once. She talked to the doctor and asked my mother’s information. And I accompanied with my mother. Later, my father came too.
How to say, nearly the whole night we pushed the wheel bed to do some kinds of medical check-up. My mother felt better after some injections. At last she slept a little. It eased our anxiety.
The hospital wasn’t quiet in the night. There were some dangerous patients were sent to the emergency treatment department. One of them was dead at there. His relation’s crying made the night horrible.
I thought it was more intolerable that the doctor went to sleep before the last check-up information came out. Though another doctor took his place, it made me unhappy.
Anyway, my mother had been brought through the danger. It was the most important. That night, we stayed up.
The Mother Day, in fact I forgot it after the nervous and difficult night. When I went out to buy some medicine, I found some flowers in many girl’s hands. Then I looked at the person who sold flowers. I bought a bunch of carnations. I hope my mother is healthy. It is my only wish now.
I prepared some delicious food, that day, my mother was safe. We ate some. And the next night, I couldn’t sleep though I was tired. I thought my father and sister must be similar to me.
These days she was better than before. But she always felt headache and breathe difficult. she was worried about it. But we didn’t know how to treat it except the rest. The doctors and the experts can’t tell what’s wrong with her heart.
I became a maid, a nurse, a secretary, a cook, a bodyguard, a massagist…I think I didn’t care her enough before. I was busying in my something of little importance. I should take care of her, my dear mother. She is older, her health should be noticed. This year, this Mother Day, I know, it is an alert to me. It warn me that mother is the most important person in the world.
Mother, I am willing to exchange all my thing to your health, really. I love you.
