29、候,就有了,他留给我的印象就是沉默少言的,但是脸上却始终有微笑,不管家里遇到了什么样的困难,只要有爸爸在,一切都能够雨过天晴的,小时候,家里很穷,可是作为孩子的我们(我和哥哥),却很幸福。爸爸从来不会因为缺钱,而让我们感觉得些许的拮据和紧张,哪怕的低三下气的问人借钱,爸爸都会按时给我们交了学费,从来都不会给我们兄妹俩拖欠学费。爸爸闲下来的时候,就会给我和哥哥讲他们生活的那个年代,很苦很累,还经历过自然灾害,穷的时候,连饭都吃不饱。在我的印象里,最深的一件事情就是过年的时候,不管这一年钱赚的多还是少,爸爸总会让妈妈带着我和哥哥去买新衣服,当然了,妈妈也必须买新的,唯有爸爸,他是家里面唯一一个可以
30、穿旧衣服过新年的人,这就是我关于爸爸的儿时的印象,他爱家人,从来不肯委屈自己的妻子和孩子。成长岁月里的爸爸在我们渐渐成长的的岁月里,作为孩子,我们都有了自己的认知和想法,青春期的叛逆,我们也给爸爸惹了不少祸,但是,不管我们闯的祸有多大,最后都是爸爸出面,来摆平解决一切。在这个渐渐懂事的过程中,爸爸扮演着一位良师的角色,事情过后,爸爸也会趁机好好的教育我们,让我们懂得,我们做的是对的,值得鼓励的,还是不对的,今后需要去改正的。爸爸在社会上经历的多了,懂得的道理也比我们多很多。我们是在跌跌撞撞的认知中去探索这个社会,而爸爸就是这条探索道路的指明灯!在我们长大的青春光阴里,我们在爸爸身上看到了责任、
31、懂得了承担的重要性!爸爸,在我们的生活中,必不可少,他让我们(大哥和我)拥有了正确的人生观和价值观,他教会了我们如何看待这个世界,如何去更好的创造自己想要的生活!渐渐上了年纪的爸爸:我只想用“渐渐上了年纪”来形容现在的爸爸,不想要用已经“老去”来形容爸爸。没错,岁月是真的很无情的,不知不觉间,爸爸的眼角多了些许的皱纹,额头的皱纹也不自觉的来向他报到了,爸爸再伟大,也终究抵不过岁月的蹉跎。两角鬓白的爸爸,让我们看着多了很多的心疼,一向雷厉风行、无所不能的爸爸,渐渐地,变得老了,特别是当我们都成家以后,爸爸也算是把他一生最重要的任务也都完成了,上了年纪的爸爸,更多的心思,留在了妈妈的身上,一路走来
32、,是妈妈的陪伴和默默的奉献,才让爸爸能够在外工作的时候,毫无杂念!妈妈,就是爸爸最为坚强的后盾,而我们,是爸爸努力奋斗的最大动力,如今,爸爸渐渐地老了,作为儿女,我们无法让时光倒流,能做的就是多陪伴他们,让他们的晚年生活能够幸福!爸爸的一生,都在付出,为了家和家人而付出,如今的我们,都已经成家,更加体会到了为人父母的心酸苦楚,我们能做的就是常回家看看!让父母不感到孤独!我们都是母亲身上掉下来的一块肉,我们跟母亲之间的关系,血浓于水,彼此间的那种爱,是神圣而又不可侵犯的,是妈妈给了我们生命,也是妈妈无怨无悔的把我们抚养成人,在我们成长的过程中,不管是好还是不好,妈妈都一味的去包容,去引领着我们我
33、和妈妈的温情小生活,母爱,总是那么的伟大!都说慈母多败儿,其实啊,母亲在我们的生活着,扮演着不可或缺的角色,没有母亲的无私奉献,又怎会有我们的今天呢?更多的时候,是我们忽略了母亲的重要性,甚至是把母亲对我们的关心和爱护变成了理所当然!其实啊,也是因为我们从出生的时候,就拥有了母亲的爱,也就变得不那么的珍惜了!我觉得,我们生活在这个世上,更要好好地对待我们的母亲,在我的记忆深处,母亲总是很慈祥的,她也有属于她自己的小忧愁,但是,却从来都不会让我们知道,不管生活中,遇到了什么困难或者坎坷,她总是自己一个人想办法面对和解决!以至于曾经的我一直觉得母亲是万能的,没有什么困难事情是母亲不能解决的!儿时记
34、忆中,最深刻的一件事情就是那年的的大冬天,下了很厚很厚的雪,我跟哥哥上学的地方是需要骑着自行车去的,妈妈早早的叫醒了我和哥哥,并且告诉我们下大雪了,路上滑,要早点出发,路上慢一点走,当我们吃了早饭准备出发的时候,妈妈也跟着一起出发了。大冬天的,天黑黑的,母亲拿着手电筒,给我和哥哥照明,因为下了雪,有的路段不好走,我们就推着自行车,一路上有说有笑的,时不时的哥哥还会调皮一下,就这样,母亲拿着照明灯,一路护送我和哥哥到了学校,现在回想起来曾经的岁月,满满的回忆,满满的温暖!不知不觉间,我们就都长大了,哥哥也成家了,有自己的孩子,妈妈看着我们生活幸福,她也就是开心满足了,可是,岁月却是那么的无情,不
35、知不觉间,妈妈的眼角就多了些许的皱纹,她在岁月的淘洗中,渐渐地老去了!她没有多么伟大的理想,唯一的希望,就是我们都能够生活的健康,平安,快乐,幸福!母亲,从来都不曾奢望我们能够有多么大的丰功伟绩,最大的心愿就是我们平安快乐,她的一生心血,都在我们这些孩子身上,而对于她自己,似乎总是少了很多的关心,作为儿女,长大后的忙碌,确实忽略了对母亲的爱,当我们真正的意识到母亲老去的时候,岁月一晃已经过去了几十年!母爱,虽然平凡,但是却很伟大,我跟妈妈的温情小生活,那些记忆中的点滴,一直萦绕在脑海中,让我感受到幸福,感受到温暖!爱你,亲爱的妈妈,愿你生活幸福,健康平安!其实也就是平凡的一年,和往常相比较,也
36、没有太多的区别,唯一的不同就是自己就业了,不再是学生了,也不再是那个向父母伸手就要钱的小姑娘了!步入社会的自己,很开心,同时也很紧张,毕竟社会才是一个真正的大染缸,才能让一个人真正的成长和坚强!父母的爱,平凡中渗透着伟大,这一年,感恩父母!在初入社会的这一年里,是要感恩很多的朋友同事领导,但是,我最想要感恩的两个人,其实就是我的爸爸妈妈!也许,你会觉得很奇怪,步入社会,经历的很多人或事,不应该都是单位或者工作吗?怎么会是要感恩父母呢?没错,我最最想要感恩的就是我们爸爸和妈妈!为什么呢?且听我慢慢道来!每一年的母亲节和父亲节,都只有一天,我想先和大家分享一下父亲节发生的小故事,虽然很平凡,很普通
37、,但是我的心确实五味杂陈暖暖的!这一年的自己,已经参加了工作,也有了自己的收入,虽然工资不是很高,但事多多少少还是有些结余的,父亲节到了,那天早上一醒来,我就给父亲微信上发了红包,金额不多,也就只有100元的红包,这一天,我一直在等待着父亲领红包!可是,等啊等啊等啊,眼看着24小时就要过去了,可是父亲还是没有领取红包,难道是忙碌着,一直没有看到吗?或者是信息太多,被挤下去了,于是,我就告诉了妈妈,让妈妈去提醒父亲,记得领取父亲节的红包。当我和妈妈说了以后,妈妈却告诉我说:你爸爸说了,他还能赚下钱,不差钱,他没有理由领取你的钱,你在外工作也不容易,留着让你自己花了,!听了妈妈的话,我的心,那一刻
38、的感觉,真的时候无法形容的,于是,我就告诉妈妈,说也就只有100块,不多,我也不缺这100,多少一点心意,就领取了吧,我再三提醒让领取,可是,最后的结果是,红包退还了回来,这就是父亲,他不过是一个平凡的农民,对于孩子给予的,他却觉得孩子出门在外不容易,不愿意花孩子的钱!事情虽然很小,但是,却真的触动了我的心,也激发了我更要好好的工作,努力赚钱,以后给予父母更好的生活!记得还有一次是我小学的朋友要结婚了,因为处的不是很好,很一般,礼钱也就200元,当天我也没回去,于是,就让妈妈去上礼了!不过,我前一天就给妈妈发了红包,可是妈妈愣是没有领取,非说是要给就等你回来了的吧,其实啊,我知道,妈妈的意思就是要让我常回家看看!爸爸和妈妈都在用他们的觉得对的方式,爱着自己的孩子,在他们的眼中,孩子永远是长不大的。平凡的小事情,渗透着浓浓的爱意,或许,这个世界上还有很多很多向我父母一样的家长,他们不愿索取孩子们的金钱,只愿孩子们能够健借此机会,也借此平台,感恩亲爱的爸妈,希望爸爸妈妈身体健康,幸福快乐!爸爸妈妈,我爱你们!
