My mom, an experienced professional caregiver, works at a nursing home named Greenfield. Helping and caring for the seniors in need is her routine, the Alzheimer's(阿尔茨海默病)patients in particular. And Mom always says, "They need me, honey! I must keep a close eye on them in case they forget their way back or get into trouble!"
That really let me down. For thousands of times, how I wished Mom could keep me company but not them, especially in the moments like my singing show, school open day... But "her empty seat" showed everything. Such is my mom, who is always there for her beloved elders.
As scheduled on Monday morning, our singing contest with the theme "For Mama" arrived. This was no exception for her! With others' moms seated, I took my turn standing on the stage, "the empty seat" igniting my eyes! "Need her again!" I thought to myself. The well-prepared song still at the tip of my tongue, I hurriedly finished my part, stepped off the stage, and rushed out of the hall. Anger washed over me nonstop all the time.
After school, head down, I dragged my feet on the road and couldn't help complaining about Mom's absence. "My...daughter...my...", an old lady out of nowhere came over to me. She repeated the same words, which added to my annoyance. "Out of my way!" popped out of my mouth, and I quickened my pace to avoid her intentionally.
And almost immediately, I felt a bit sorry for my rude behavior. So, I slowed down, thinking to myself, "Why is the old lady always murmuring (低语) ‘My...daughter...’?" "Is she OK?" "Get lost?" or "Alzheimer's?" A stream of questions flooded into my mind. Occupied with such guesses, I turned back to look for the old lady. Luckily, she was still standing where she had been. Nevertheless, apart from the repeated "My...", I knew nothing more about her. I was totally at a loss what to do next.
