I can honestly say it was the best of times and the worst of times. I was joyfully expecting my first child at the same time that my mother was 1her battle with a brain tumor(瘤). For ten years, my fiercely independent and 2mother had fought, but none of the treatments had been successful. 3, she never lost her ability to smile. But now, finally, she became totally 4—unable to speak, walk, eat or dress on her own.
As she grew closer and closer to death, my 5grew closer and closer to life inside me. My biggest 6was that their lives would never connect. I was sad not only at the 7loss of my mother, but that she and my baby would never know each other. Her doctor did not 8any hope; they told us her time was up.

“Yes! Yes! I know!”

Mom was sitting in her chair and 15to welcome him. Tears of joy blocked my vision(视野) as I 17my son in her arms and she clucked (发出咯咯声) at him. They 18.
Then she quietly clipped back into a coma (昏迷) and 19peacefully. Memories of my son’s birth will always be bittersweet(甜中带苦的) for me, but it was then that I learned love has the 20to overcome any worries and any sorrow. And love can last forever.
