In her mother's dress

"Do you like my dress?" she asked of a passing stranger. "My mommy made it just for me." She said with a tear in her eye.

"Well, I think it's very pretty, so tell me little one, why are you crying?"
With a quiver in her voice the little girl answered. "After Mommy made me this dress, she had to go away."
"Well, now," said the lady, "with a little girl like you waiting for her, I'm sure she'll be right back."

"No ma'am, you don't understand," said the child through her tears, "My Daddy said that she's up in heaven now with Grandfather."

Finally the woman realized what the child meant, and why she was crying. Kneeling down she gently cradled the child in her arms and together they cried for the mommy that was gone.

Then suddenly the little girl did something that the woman thought was a bit strange. She stopped crying, stepped back from the woman and began to sing.

She sang so softly that it was almost a whisper. It was the sweetest sound the woman had ever heard, almost like the song of a very small bird.

After the child stopped singing she explained to the lady, "My mommy used to sing that song to me before she went away, and she made me promise to sing it whenever I started crying and it would make me stop."
"See," she exclaimed, "it did, and now my eyes are dry!"
As the woman turned to go, the little girl grabbed her sleeve, "Lady, can you stay just a minute? I want to show you something."

"Of course," she answered, "what do you want me to see?"

Pointing to a spot on her dress, she said, "Right here is where my Mommy kissed my dress, and here," pointing to another spot, "and here is another kiss, and here, and here. Mommy said that she put all those kisses on my dress so that I would have her kisses for every boo-boo that made me cry."
Then the lady realized that she wasn't just looking at a dress, no, she was looking at a Mother ... Who knew that she was going away and would not be there to kiss away the hurts that she knew her daughter would get.

So she took all the love she had for her beautiful little girl and put them into this dress, that her child now so proudly wore. She no longer saw a little girl in a simple dress. She saw a child wrapped ...

This story is amazing because .....

in my point of view, this story is really amazing. it shows about a mother,who can't live longer, to take care her children. thus she tried to make something special for her child before she left.

After finishing reading this story, I felt so sad. It was showed about the things that mother did for her children. She spent much time, energy, financial, and hardship to do one thing for us. The mother did it happily and carefully. Especially, she sang the soft songs for us with her kiss softly. finally she got away. It is similar to my life. My mother does everything to me. Meanwhile she has given me whatever I want even though it is hard for her, but she still finds for me. Anyway she is still alive. That's why I have opportunity to be regretful to her.

When I read this story it make me felt sadness and very very pity to her.Even her's mother was gone but she was remained a pretty dress with her kisses,that make her's tear fell down, and miss her mother too much.

When I read this story it make me felt sadness and very very pity to her.Even her's mother was gone but she was remained a pretty dress with her kisses,that make her's tear fell down, and miss her mother too much.

After I read this story, I cannot say something because it shows about the feeling that mother loves his daughter so much, and the daughter also misses and loves her mother too even if they cannot live together.

This story is very sad to me,even she cry for her mother, but she still remember her mother' speech that told her and see what that her mother gave her lots of kiss on her dress. Even her mother went away from her, but she all her love to her daughter to make her happy even she did not nearly her daughter. It's shown us about her love to her daughter.

This is a sad story that mum offer her love to her daughter. Although she passed away, she still express her love on dress in order to retain loving kindness.She persuaded her kid stop to cry by sing gently song.One more thing, while i was reading this story,I image the scene that little girl sing to console her and lady stop to sobbing. She adorable and pity which she knew that way.

After read this story I feel strongly love parents. Parents did a lot of thing for children. Event thought hard work. They are very happy when they see their children wear the wight shirt and black trouser to school. They happy to give money to their children.But some children didn't know where money come from. Parents work from morning until evening. They work until the last day for their life. This story as an example, when the mother know it is nearly the last day for her, she still work, give advice, give the dress, give kiss to her child and also a good song.

In the story show me about mother love widely to kids, mother give up every thing to happiness her kid. She is no want some thing from us, she love us like as her eyes, so we are a kid must be a good child, obey to her, to get advise from her, we will be have a good future.
