(山西省金谷中学2010届高三第一次练兵考试)
Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most recent “Book of the Month Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her suffering in later years. At eighty-five she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.
Two days before she died my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her back into bed Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.
“Whirr ” she said weakly.
“Where?” I asked. “Mom is there something you want?” “Whirr ” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes sighed and with all the energy she could maser said “Not was say were!”
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks Mom ” he whispered. We smiled at each other ----remarkable teacher.
