    Jackie's mother died when she was giving birth to Jackie. Every year as Mother's Day got near, he would feel very sad and ask himself, "Why don't I have a mother? Why do I miss my mom even though I have never met her?"

    Then one Mother's Day, while all the other children were celebrating it with their mothers, Jackie walked along a road and cried sadly. An old woman saw this and asked him what was wrong. Jackie said that it was the saddest day of the year as it always made him think about his mother. He didn't have a mother to grow up with. Instead, he lived with his grandparents.

    The old woman listened to him carefully. After a while, she said, "You may not have a mother, but don't forget, young boy, Mother's Day is the day when we remember all mothers everywhere. We honor many things they do for us. Look at that young mother with her two kids, she has to carry the two kids and her groceries(食品杂货)all the way home. She does it out of love for her family. And don't forget that a grandmother is also a mother. "

    Jackie opened his eyes wide. He began to realize this was a wonderful way to celebrate Mother's Day.
