But my heart refused to let the optimism that the lilacs had brought to me fade. Immediately, I recalled the card my mother had sent me just that past week one that had subconsciously inspired this trip home. My mother knew that I was feeling down. On the cover of the card she sent me was a photo of a single flower emerging from a desolate barren slope of rock. The exquisite flower willed itself to have life, in spite of the conditions around it. Inside were the words In the midst of winter, I found within me an eternal spring, followed by my mothers words:Spring has always been your favorite time of year. As alway its within.These are words that my mother, ever the optimist, lives by. Even in the midst of winter, she finds spring.Its pouring rain! Dad once said.Everything smells so fresh after a rain! Mom responded.But Id wanted to get the yards mowed today, he replied, obviously disappointed.We need the rain, she countered. Now everything will be greener.But the forecast is rain for the entire day, Dad moaned.Then we should go to the movies this afternoon, Mom smiled.Its so expensive, he retorted.Thats precisely why we should go to the matinee, she countered. Three of the kids can get in free, and its only half-price for the rest of us.
但我内心深处不愿意让紫丁香刚刚带给我的期待消失。我随即想起上一个星期母亲送给我的一张卡片正是。卡片促使我潜意识地作了回家的决定。母亲知道我那时心情不好。她送给我的那张卡片的正面是一张照片,照片上是一朵花,它从一块岩石的荒芜贫瘠的斜面上生长出来。尽管周围的环境十分恶劣,这朵娇嫩的小花却顽强地绽放着生命。卡片里面有一些文字:在隆冬里,我在内心找到了永恒的春天。紧接着还有一句母亲写给我的话:一直以来,春天都是你最喜爱的季节。春天一直都在你心里。这就是我那永远乐观的母亲的人生信念。即使是在隆冬,她也能找到春天。下大雨了!有一次父亲说。雨后的一切闻起来是那么的清新!母亲回答说。可我本来想今天割院子里的草的,父亲带着很失望的语气说。我们需要这场雨,母亲反驳说,大雨过后一切会变得更青翠。但天气预报说,这场雨会下一整天,父亲抱怨道。那我们今天下午应该去看电影,母亲笑着说。票价太贵了,父亲反驳道。那恰恰是我们应该去看下午场的原因,她回答说,三个孩子可以免票进场,我们其他人只要半票。
