Missed Motherly Love

share time: 2025-10-23 06:02:19

Lin Xiaoman resented her mother for a decade over the "abandonment"—at 14, her mom left a note saying "I don't love you anymore" and vanished, leaving her to grow up like a weed. It wasn't until her mother's funeral that she found a blood-stained diary in an old trunk: her mom had been diagnosed with late-stage leukemia back then, lying cruelly to avoid dragging her down. In reality, she hid outside the school wall every day to watch her, secretly slipped money into her bag, and even snuck to her wedding to take a whole roll of photos. The last page read, "My Xiaoman, Mom never wanted to miss you—I just couldn't let you see my pain." Holding the diary and the half-knitted cashmere scarf her mom hid for ten years, she finally realized: those unspoken "I love you"s had long become the sharpest regret of their years apart.
