My mum only had one eye. She cooked for students and teachers to   41   the family when I was young.

One day my mum came to 　42  hello to me in primary school. I was so embarrassed（尷尬的） that I threw her a hateful  43 and ran out.

The next day at school, one of my classmates said, “Your mum only has one eye!” and  44  at me.

I hated my mum and decided to leave her, so I studied very hard. Later I got a chance to go abroad to study and I left my mother.　45　graduation I worked, bought a house and got   46  there. Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 47  !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I  48  at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” And to this, my mum 　49  answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have got the wrong  50  ,”and she disappeared.

One day, a letter regarding a school reunion（聚會(huì)） came to my house. So I told a 　51  to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old house.

My neighbours said that she   52   . I did not have a single tear. They handed me a letter that she had wanted me to have.

My dearest son,

I am thinking  53 you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your 　54　 .

I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see…when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t stand watching you grow up with one eye. So I gave you   55  .

  …  With all my love to you!

Your mother

My earliest memory of dad is grabbing（抓�。﹉is hand while we walked together. As I grew older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep   35  the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet with the   36  score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.

On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered（分送）the bread to the stores. The   37  and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.

My father would be present at all my games. One night before an important game my father told me   38  that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour   39 . The next day as the game drew near I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and   40  saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to   41  the game. I’ll always remember that.

Years later I had become a   42 . I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart   43  in my ears. I   44  the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really   45  to me. I still taught in school but I couldn’t centre attention on my teaching. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my   46  in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day on I started. I’ll always remember that!
