美文欣賞-Forrest Gump

Forrest: What’s the matter momma?

Mother: I’m dying, Forrest. Come on in, sit down over here.

Forrest: Why are you dying momma?

Mother: It’s my time. It’s just my time. Oh, now, don’t you be afraid sweetheart. Death is just a part of life. Something we are all 1)destined to do. I didn’t know it, but I was destined to be your momma. I did the best I could.

Forrest: You did good, momma.

Mother: Well, I happen to believe you make your own destiny. You have to do the best with what God gave you.

Forrest: What’s my destiny, momma?

Mother: You’re gonna have to figure that out for yourself. Life is a box of chocolates, Forrest. You never know what you’re gonna get.

Forrest (Offscreen Voice): Momma always had a way of explaining things so I could understand them.

Mother: I will miss you, Forrest.

Forrest (Offscreen Voice): She had got the cancer, and died on a Tuesday. I bought her a new hat with little flowers on it.
