Night after night, mom came to my bed and said good night, even long after my childhood years. As part of her nightly routine she would lean down, push my long hair out of the way and then kiss my forehead.
I can’t remember when it first started annoying me-her hands pushing my hair that way. But it did annoy me anyway for they felt rough against my young skin. Finally, one night, I lashed out at her, “Stop doing that-your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything in reply, and never did she end ml y day with that special expression of love again. That night, I found myself lying awake long after she left my room. Regrettably, I never told her I was sorry.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thought would often return to that night. I missed my mother’s hands, and her goodnight kiss upon my forehead, sometimes the memory of that unspeakable night seemed very close and sometimes far away. It was always there in the back of my mind.
Years have passed, I’m no longer a young girl, and mom is in her mid-seventies. Those hands I once thought to he rough are still taking care of me and my family. Over the years, those hands have reached into a medicine cabinet for the remedy that would calm a young girl’s upset stomach or soothe boys painful knee. The very same hands have also cooked the best fried chicken in the world, gotten stains out of my jeans and dished out ice cream on a hot summer day.
Now my own children are all grown and gone, and mom no longer has clad. On special days, I find myself drawn to her house to spend the night with her. On the Eve of one Thanksgiving, as I was about to fall asleep in my old bedroom, a rough, but loving hand, hesitantly stole across my face and brushed the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my eyebrow.
For the thousandth time I recalled the night when my young voice and gratefully complained, “Stop doing that-your hands are too rough!” then I caught Mom’s hand in mine involuntarily with the deepest regret, I told her how sorry I had felt about that night all those years. To my surprise, Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgiven and forgotten long ago. That night, I fell asleep with new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands. The guilt that I had felt for so long suddenly disappeared, and nowhere was it to be found.
一天又一天,妈妈来到我的床前,对我说晚安,即使在我童年时代很久以后。作为她每晚例行公事的一部分,她会俯下身来,把我的长发拨开,然后亲吻我的额头。
我不记得从什么时候开始烦我了——她的手那样推我的头发。但它确实让我很恼火,因为它们在我年轻的皮肤上感觉粗糙。最后,一天晚上,我对她吼道:“别这样了——你的手太粗糙了!”她没有回答什么,也再也没有用那种特别的爱的表达来结束我的一天。那天晚上,在她离开我的房间很久之后,我发现自己躺在床上睡不着。遗憾的是,我从未向她道歉。
一次又一次,随着岁月的流逝,我的思绪常常回到那个夜晚。我想念母亲的手,想念她在我额头上的晚安吻。那个难以形容的夜晚的记忆有时很近,有时又很遥远。它一直在我的脑海里。
多年过去了,我不再是一个年轻的女孩,妈妈也七十多岁了。那些我曾经认为粗糙的手仍然照顾着我和我的家人。多年来,这些人一直把手伸进药柜里,寻找能安抚小女孩胃部不适或缓解男孩膝盖疼痛的药物。同样是这双手,他们也做过世界上最好吃的炸鸡,洗掉我牛仔裤上的污渍,在炎热的夏日里端出冰淇淋。
现在我自己的孩子都长大了,妈妈也不再穿衣服了。在特殊的日子里,我发现自己被吸引到她家和她一起过夜。在一个感恩节前夕,当我在我的旧卧室里准备入睡时,一只粗糙但充满爱意的手,犹豫地从我脸上掠过,拂去我额头上的头发。然后一个吻,非常温柔地抚摸着我的眉毛。
我无数次地回忆起那个晚上,我年轻的声音带着感激的口吻抱怨道:“别这样——你的手太粗糙了!然后,我不由自主地抓住妈妈的手,心中充满了深深的遗憾。我告诉她,那些年来,对于那个夜晚,我是多么后悔。令我吃惊的是,妈妈不知道我在说什么。她早就原谅并忘记了。那天晚上,我怀着对温柔的母亲和她关怀的双手的新感激入睡。我长久以来的负罪感突然消失了,再也找不到了。
