本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛母亲节晚上睡前快到8岁的小女儿跟我聊天:
------What if you die,mommy?
------I won't die.
------Everybody will die someday.
-----Then I'll go to heaven.
-----But I'll stay on Earth for more days. Too bad. I don't want you to leave.
-----All right. We'll go to heaven together.
-----Don't kill me, mom.
-----I won't. What I mean is I'll live very very long, to be 120.
-----But people can only live to be 100.
-----OK, I'll live to be 100.
-----How can?
-----I'll eat well, sleep well and do exercise.
-----And don't work so hard, mommy. I'll help you when I have time.
-----Thanks.
-----And to liver longer you need love, right?
-----Yeah, your love helps me live longer.
后来又问喜不喜欢送给我的母亲节礼物,再后来就睡着了。我独自在黑暗中流泪。还好这次谈论死亡她没有哭。一年多前她也问过同样的问题,那时她是很伤感的。我该怎样回答得更有智慧呢?
大女儿小时候在中国也问过这样的问题。一天下班后照例去幼儿园接她,她突然问:“妈妈,有一天你会不会死?“ 我搪塞她说妈妈会长生不老。她已经不信:“不会的!”然后抱着我哭了很久。
自从生了小女儿后就没有外出工作,有时会患得患失。现在想想有更多的时间陪伴孩子是多么大的福分。一定要好好珍惜这一世的母女情缘。更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
