Hello Oshiro Jun Aditya Vel Mehmet Simone Claire Charles and all,

I read this article with my E.R.nurse student this morning during our

I was very touched by that strong-willed mother,retired nurse.

half of his lifetime.(he's 46 years now)

aditya...@gmail.com (Adi..! was here) — Thu, 26 nov 2009 07:17:58 UT

Well,It is is the love of the mother which actually makes them very close to
their children and able to understand the unspoken signs of pain,love,anger
of their children.
That is why they are called mothers i guess!!!!

Watch hindi Movie Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum,of How mother understands their
child.

Take a moment if you dare
Catch yourself a breath of air
There's another life out there
And you should try it

Dead ends hide on every street
Look before you place your feet
Cracks and fissures keep the beat
And you're inside it

Every thought you never dared to think
Every mood you always knew would sink

Mostly, mothers are wonderful. They spend the love for family, children.
So, it is easy to understand she feel like that. Hope he will be better

culture!
If I remember it correctly,according to Chinese,since you were in your

Perhaps that's why we are always 1 year older than our real age.:)

Oshiro,thank you very much. With reference to your question, I would like to tell you the specific reason, but actually I don't konw exactly either. Maybe because of the culture difference. It is just a tridition which is handed from our old generation. However, nowadays due to the communication between the east and west cultures, more and more Chinese women tend to become the opposite as you mentioned.LOL
