The Sacrificing Mother•Written by: Paul LaiTranslated by: Brenda Tsang

Recently, there was a news item regarding the tragic sinking of a Norwegian ship. Because the winds were too strong, the victims at sea were not able to be rescued for eight days

the victims at sea were not able to be rescued for eight days

When the rescuers finally came, the victims have already met their fate; but on a boulder near the shore, there was a mother holding onto her baby.

The baby was alive; the mother had died. In the end, it was discovered that the mother had used a sharp rock to pierce her chest so that her shed blood could be used as food to keep her baby alive.

This year on Mothers' Day, purchase an elegant gift and a beautiful card for the mother who gave birth to you, who nurtured and loved you.

On the card, tell her that you appreciate and are grateful for her.

I trust that she will be

comforted by the fact

that those years of sacrifice

and hardship have not beenspent in vain.
