Do you still hug your parents How do you feel when you hug them When do you need a hug the most
It was a cold November morning several years ago. My alarm clock had just gone off, but I was having trouble getting out of bed. My dad had died a few weeks before. I felt weighed down by sadness and depression.
Tough and strong, my dad had worked so hard all of his life to support us. He would sometimes shout at my brothers and me, but I always knew that he loved me. Still, he had been raised (养育)in a traditional way and raised us that way too. I couldn't remember, for example, ever being hugged by him.
After my mom and grandma passed away, my dad moved into grandma's home. I was so happy to have him close by. I would often visit him and just talk with him about life. But we still seldom touched and never hugged. Finally his own health began to rapidly fail and within a few months he left us. It was a cold morning when we had his service(追悼会), but I was too cold inside myself to feel it. I couldn't remember when we' d had our last hug.
I sighed(叹气)and got out of my bed. I turned on the lights and walked into the hallway. I saw my son Jim walking down the hall to meet me. Suddenly, he opened his arms and gave me a heart felt hug. And just as he did, I heard my dad's voice in the deep inside of me say, “Joey, this hug is from me!” I cried and smiled at the same time. In that moment, in the place where the heart, mind, and spirit all meet, I felt loved. I felt loved by my dad. I felt loved by life.

In a small village there was a middle aged postman, who just turned 20 years old and started delivering (投递) all kinds of happy or sad stories to each home day after day for 50 kilometers. 20 years flew by, and so many changes took place, but the road from the post office to the village always hadn't had any tree and nothing but the flying dust (尘土) could be seen.
“How long shall I go along this lonely road?”
As soon as he thought he must spend his life riding the bike on the dusty rood with no flower or tree, he felt somewhat sorry.
One day when he finished delivering the letters and was ready to return, he happened to pass by a flower shop. “Right, that's it!” He walked into the shop, bought a handful of wild flower seeds (种子), and from the next day on put these seeds along the roadside. Thus, after one day, two days, one month, two months… he always kept putting the wild flower seeds along the roadside.
Before long, on the lonely road, where he had come and gone for 20 years, grew up a lot of little flowers, in all seasons endlessly. For the villagers, the flowers were more enjoyable than any mail the postman delivered in all his life.
On the road without dust but full of petals (花瓣), the postman rode his bike, losing himself in the sweet smell and not feeling lonely and anxious any more.

The day before Mother's Day, everyone around me is talking about what gifts they are going to buy for their beloved mother. Buying flowers is what most students will do, and others buy chocolates. While for me, I want to do something different, as I live in school and can't go back home on Mother's Day. I decide to make a call to her to send her my warmest wishes. I am so nervous now and have no idea what to say. I search the Internet for some suggestions; it is very useful for me, and many wonderful words are presented in front of my eyes. I read them one by one. As I decide to copy these words, suddenly I feel there is no meaning of saying someone else's words. So I give up, I will tell my mother that I love her and thank her for the things she has done for me.
It is such a special gift. I think my mother will like it, because this special gift contains my love for my mother.
