When her mother was sick, the woman took 5,000 red envelopes to take care of her, and when she received the message, she tearfully mentioned the divorce
My name is Xiaoyu, and I am an ordinary woman living an ordinary life. But one day, life gave me a huge test and made me face a choice that I had never made before.
It was a sunny spring day, and the sun shone through the windows on everything in the home, filling the house with warmth and tranquility. I was about to go out to work, and suddenly received a **, and my mother's heavy voice came from the other end: "Xiaoyu, can you take a leave of absence for a while and come back?"I'm sick and really not well. ”
When I heard my mother's voice, my heart instantly tugged. My mother has always been my strong support, and she does everything for me and my family. After I left home to work, my husband and I started our own small family, and my mother stayed in her hometown alone. I knew in my heart that her life alone was not easy, but my mother always smiled and said, "Daughter, you young people are busy, and I am fine alone, don't worry." ”
But now, the exhaustion and helplessness in her voice cut my heart. Without hesitation, I agreed to ask for leave, hurriedly packed my bags, and immediately got into the car back to my hometown. There was both anxiety and worry in my heart.
When I returned to my hometown and saw my mother's pale face, my heart was sour. She smiled weakly at me and said, "It's okay, it's just a little sick, and it will be fine in a few days." "I know she's lying for me, but she doesn't want me to worry. I held her hand and said distressedly: "Mom, don't hide it from me, I am your daughter, and I will accompany you through this difficult time." ”
In the following days, I accompanied my mother in my hometown, cooking soup and wiping the sweat from her forehead. Every day is ordinary, but full of deep family affection. My mother was lying on the bed, her eyes full of gratitude and dependence on me, while I felt a sense of happiness and peace of mind.
In order to be able to fulfill my filial piety, in addition to taking care of my mother every day, I am looking for a job near my home, hoping to have a stable income. And my mother always quietly shoved some money into my pocket when I was not there, saying, "Daughter, you have to take care of yourself too." "I knew that her health made her worry about my future, so I worked harder to find a job in order to give my mother a better life.
One day, I got a job at a small company nearby, which didn't pay much, but it was enough to support our daily life. I happily told my mother the good news, and her eyes sparkled with joy. Although this job is mundane, it is a small step towards happiness.
As the days passed, my mother's condition gradually improved, and life at home gradually returned to normal. Watching my mother look like her day by day, my heart is full of gratitude and relief. I understand that family affection is the deepest emotion, and this time of staying together has made me more aware of the warmth and preciousness of home.
However, when everything seemed to be back on track, I received a message one day, which was short and straightforward: "I know about you taking care of your mother, but we also need your company in our lives, and we haven't had a normal married life for a long time." If you can still give for our family, please go home;If you can't, please leave. ”
Looking at this message, my vision was blurry. I knew that this was what my husband was saying, but I didn't expect him to express it in this way. I know that our marriage has gone through too many twists and turns during this time, but I didn't expect that he would make such a request at this time.
The contradiction in my heart made me ponder, and I was overwhelmed with emotion. For the sake of my mother, I let go.
worked, left everything, and came to this home. I thought the sacrifice was worth it, but now I'm facing cracks in my marriage. In the dead of night, I lay alone in bed, tears blurring my eyes.
I know my husband's helplessness and expectation, but I know even more that I can't live up to my mother. She is the most important person in my life and the strongest support in my life. I look back on these days with great ambivalence, and my understanding and support for my husband has become a little overwhelming.
Finally, I decided to be honest with my husband. I told him that I understood his expectations, but that I couldn't live up to my mother. I hope he can understand my choice and understand my helplessness. However, my husband's reply was unexpected: "I can't accept that you gave up our marriage for the sake of a sick old man." Now that you've made your choice, please go. ”
Looking at this text, my heart sank to the bottom. Little did I know that my attachment to my family would eventually cost me another warm home. I silently packed my belongings and gently pushed open the door to my mother's room, where she lay on the bed, looking at me with distress in her eyes. I kissed her deeply on the forehead, and as I said goodbye, I couldn't hold back my tears.
The moment I left, I felt like a knife. Little did I know that the responsibility of caring for my mother ended up being an insurmountable gap between me and my husband. However, I do not regret my choice, because it is a responsibility to my dearest people and my filial duty as a daughter.
Now, I'm walking the road of life again. Maybe I will face more difficulties and challenges, but I believe that as long as my heart is kind and I work hard, I will usher in a new dawn. I want to tell myself that life is still long, and happiness still awaits me.
