A Mother’s Diary

Nothing makes a mother happier than her daughter’s happiness, and nothing makes a mother unhappy than her daughter’s unhappiness. But what about the mother’s own personal happiness? It is too late for me now. I live through my daughter, some might say that it is wrong, but my life is over. There is no hope for me. I just had a fight with my dear daughter, her words hurt like a knife to the heart. As I remember those harsh words, I can’t stop my flowing tears. Why doesn’t my daughter love me? Is God punishing me, because I left two daughters behind in China? Not a day goes by when I don’t think about them .I’m trying to do it right with Jing-mei, but there is no hope for us anymore.
