That was when my son was 6 years old. My son is now 22 but whenever I look at him even as a grown man, I remember the small child with .
Our cat was to give birth. And like all young children, my son was very interested in the birth of the babies. During the following week, he never stopped me for a chance to witness it. At last, I agreed. I answered all his questions and prepared him the best he might not be shocked or frightened.
That when my son arrived home, one baby cat had been born. He was so at what he saw that he would put his hand on the mother cat’s stomach and feel the other babies . When the mother cat began to very loudly, it was clear that the second baby was on its way. My son but never said a word. Then he asked me, “Mum, why does she cry so loudly when the baby comes?” I that it was not a hurtful pain but a pain of great pleasure the mother.
When the of the third baby was coming by the crying of the mother cat, my son hugged (拥抱) me with tears his face, saying, “Mum, I’m sorry for the I brought you to have me.” My heart almost stopped. With a(n) choice of words, I told him that his birth has brought me but smiles, and that I would like to it 100 times.
Now my son is a grown man, but he always that night, for it was on that night that he finally what the word “love” meant.
