It was Mother’s Day, but our mother was far away from us.I decided to drive to the         with my wife and our children to       flowers.

After we arrived, we went hiking , played games, and collected all kinds of flowers and so on.How happy we were! Finally, though, we had to         our car and got ready to go back home.While the kids chatted and I drove, my wife sat behind me, surrounded by her flowers, a(n)          look in her eyes.

Suddenly my wife         to me, “Stop the car.Stop right here!”         I could ask her what had happened, she was out and          up a nearby grassy hill with the lilacs (丁香花）still in her arms.At the         of the hill was a nursing home and , because it was such a beautiful spring day, the          were outdoors talking with relatives.

My wife went up the hill, where an elderly patient was sitting in her      , alone with her back to most of the others.My wife    the flowers to her and said something.The patient            her head and smiled.They talked for a few      before my wife ran back.As the car            away, I found in the mirror the woman          with the lilacs.

“Mom,” the kids asked, “Who was that? Why did you give her our          ? Is she somebody’s mother?” My wife said, “I didn’t know the old woman.But it is Mother’s Day.And she seemed so          .Who wouldn’t be cheered by flowers?         ,” she added, “I have all of you, and I still have my          , even if she is far away.That woman needed those flowers more than I did.”

Now, every May, our own yard is             with lilacs.Every Mother’s Day we drive to the countryside to gather flowers and sow more seeds in our yard.And every year I remember that lonely old woman in her wheelchair, and her smile on her face.
