Night after night, she came to tuck(掖被子)me in, even long after my childhood years. She’d 21 down, push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead.
I don’t remember 22 it first started making me angry-the 23 that her hands pushed my hair. Finally, one night, I 24 her,“don’t do that any more-your hands are too 25 !”She didn’t say anything in 26 . But never again did my mother close out my day with that 27 expression of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words 28 me, but I didn’t tell her I was sorry.
Well, 29 have passed. Mom is in her mid-seventies, and her hands I once thought to be so rough are 30 doing things for my family and me. She’s been our doctor, and always had a way of 31 a girl’s stomachache or a boy’s hurt knee. She 32 the best fried chicken in the world.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. On special days, I have got into the habit of drawing the next door to 33 the night with her. So it was late one Thanksgiving Eve, as I 34
into sleep in the bedroom, a familiar hand 35 stole across my face to brush the 36 from my forehead. Then she 37 my brow ever so gently.
Catching Mom’s hand in mine, I blurted out(脱口说出)how 38 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember it as I did. 39 Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten it and forgiven me long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 40 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.

At the age of 13, I was angry and rebellious(叛逆的),with little regard for anything my parents had to say, 1 if it had to do with me. 2 so many teenagers, I struggled to escape from anything that didn’t 3 my picture of the world. A “brilliant without need of guidance” kid, I 4 any open offering of love. In fact, I got 5 at the mention of the word love.
One night, after a particularly 6 day, I stormed into my room, shut the door and got into bed. 7 I lay down in the privacy of my bed, my hands slipped under my pillow. There was a(n) 8 . I pulled it out and on the envelope it 9 “To read when you’re 10 ”.
Since I was alone, no one would know whether I read it or not, so I 11 it. It said: “Mike, I know life is hard right now, I know you are frustrated and I know we don’t do everything right. I also know that I love you completely and 12 you do or say will ever change that. I am here 13 you if you ever need to talk, and if you don’t, that’s 14 . Just know that 15 where you go or what you do in your life, I will always love you and be proud that you are my son. Love, Mom.”
That was the 16 of several “To read when you’re alone” letters. They were 17 mentioned until I was an adult. In the midst of my turbulent(不安分的)teen years, the letters were the calm assurance that I could be 18 in spite of my rebelliousness. Just before I fell asleep I thanked God that my mom knew what I, an angry teenager, 19 . Today when the seas of life get stormy, I know that just under my 20 there is that calm assurance that love — consistent, enduring, unconditional love — changes lives.
