C．we should let our children live independently

　　D．happiness is actually as important as sadness

　　B

　　This Mother’s Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother.She passed away less than a month before Mother’s Day in the year 2000.She had been ill for almost two years，and I didn’t cry when she died，or at her funeral，but on that first Mother’s Day without her.On that day，it had sunk in that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever.

　　Or was she？She still lives in family memories，in the thoughts of her friends and co­workers，in the values she had instilled in her children，and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended.

　　She loved her gladioli and irises.Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of soil and carefully wrap them in paper.The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted.It seemed like a lot of effort to me，but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before.She put the same hard work into caring for her family，instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play，compassion，and strong moral values so that we blossomed.

　　Share anecdotes about your mother’s life at your Mother’s Day party.Too often，we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away，fearful that we will unearth sad feelings.It doesn’t have to be that way.Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds the family together.
