For One More Day


This winter vacation, I bought the book "For one more day" at books.com, one of my best friend, and I read it right after I got it.
The novel is a family story, it express the importance of family, love, and mother. :) Chick's parents divorced when he was a child. He loved his father much more than his mom that he always tried to please him, but he always fail. In order to get more close to his father, he chose baseball player as his carrer because that's his father's favorite sport. After his parents divorce, he live with his mom. From then on, he hate his mom for loseing his beloved father.
He lied to his mom that he had to go on business on his mother's birthday, actually, the day before she died. He went to play basketball because his father ask him to do it, but he lost the game. He never see his father after that, he lost his parents at the same day. He felt guilty and he became drunk. Finally, his wife and little girl left him and he committed suicided. During his knockdown, he met his mom's spirit. He suddenly realize how much she love and sacrificed for him. Being with her, he felt happy, sastified and he wanted to stay with her forever.

Anyway, I can't express the story precisely, but it really touches me. Last weekend. both my sister and I went home. My mom saies that she never thought tree kids is not enough, but now sometime she felt so lonely and empty when we are not at home. She is quiet happy when we all get together. :) So do I. I love my family. :)

My mother did say the same thing as your mother. But she will complain sometimes when we are at home. Because we kids always mess up our rooms so that my mother will feel angry.:(

I'm sorry to tell you that you have some mistakes in your writing.
For example, you forget to add "s" in some sentences.
I think most of parents would always worry about their children even their children are already adults. When I moved into dorm last year, my mom would always call me and ask me to go home every week.
