But it did annoy me, for they felt rough(粗糙的) against my young skin. Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that anymore, your hands are too rough！” She didn't say anything, but she never did it again.Years later, I missed my mother's hands and her good－night kiss on my forehead. I'm not a little girl anymore. My mom is in her mid－70s, and her rough hands are still doing things for my family and me. She's like a doctor to us, always knowing how to calm a young girl's stomach ache. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world. Now my own children have grown up. It was late on Thanksgiving Eve. As I slept in my bedroom, a familiar hand ran across my face to push the hair from my head. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my brow.Taking my mom's hand, I told her how sorry I was for that night I shouted at her. But my mom didn't know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it long ago. That night, I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my gentle mother and her caring hands.
