I always think that festivals have nothing to do with me , especially western festivals. For example, people see Valentine’s Day as a day that young couples go on dates or express their love for each other, but it actually is a disaster for me because it just makes me think that everybody is having a great time but I don’t, every woman is expecting a special gift from her mate but I will not.
So this morning, when one of my friends reminded me today is Mother’s Day and asked me what plan I have, I just express my disappointment about it without any expectations. Yes, at that time, I thought about my daughter, who was far away in Jiangxi. And I remembered the same day last year, when the day was nearly over, when my negative emotions were increasingly gathering, I got the greetings from my daughter finally. When I asked her why she didn’t greet me until the late night, she said that she thought it was the right time and she also thought everybody else is celebrating it at night!
I told her I was waiting for her the whole day to see if she forgot her mother on such a especial day when the Wechat was filled with the information about Mother’s Day. She said she would give me a earlier greeting if I expected so.…… How time flies ! one year has passed already !
I was about to have a noon break when my phone rang. It was from a stranger I don’t know. He said there are some flowers for me and he is making sure I am at home. Immediately a bunch of flowers was flourishing in my heart. I had never accepted such magnificent presents.
I rushed out of the room with my phone. Standing in front of my house, I was waiting for the exciting moment at which the deliveryman hand me flowers. To my disappointment, I even didn’t find a single man who looks like a deliveryman when I had stayed outside in the heat for more than five minutes. Maybe it was like just a joke. There were no flowers for me. It was a wrong number. The flowers were for somebody else not for me!
I went home reluctantly, hoping that it was because my waiting time was too short. I charged my electric bike , I finished doing the dishes. There was still no news. I became so frustrated!
When I fell myself on the bed and was about to take a nap, the doorbell rang. I jumped out of the bed, rushed to open the door. A man was outside with a black plastic bag. He asked me, is that you? Handing me a note to make sure. I said, the name and telephone number are all me, it should be me. He asked skeptically, “don’t you have any clue who it is from ?”
To make him eliminate his doubt, I said, “it may be from my daughter. But she is far away. … I will telephone her.
First I wechated her, but failed. Then I rang her, no one answered. What is the matter ? what happened to my daughter ? My heart began to sink. Luckily she quickly gave me a response, saying she was helping her roommates to get back their packages.
I asked her if she had thought of today’s date and done something, she said she had ordered flowers for me. So that’s it !
I become completely relieved and delighted! My daughter has grown up! She starts to understand her mother and care about her mother. I am very proud of her! I am very moved!
I used to be a person who was waiting for the beloveds to know my feelings and thoughts. I hoped that they would know what I needed before I told them. But they don’t know me! Not even once!
When I began to learn psychology, I came to realize that if you want to make yourself happy and make yourself understood, you have to say it out. You should tell them directly what you want them to do. You can ask them for what you want. In this way, your husband and your daughter may have a chance to understand you and give you what you want. Otherwise, you are making yourself have a bad time.
That was the time that I decided to change.
And now I have tasted its sweets!
