As I had my first child, I promised myself never to be a pushy parent. I was going to be a very 36 and understanding mother.
Five years later my little boy was about to 37 for his yellow belt in karate(空手道). As a five-year-old child, he wasn’t taking it 38 , because it was Mom trying to help him. I found myself yelling and telling him he would never get the belt acting like that. I was trying to 39 him his back-flip（背摔）. He continued to play and I continued to 40 . Finally I had made him feel like he couldn’t 41 anything, just as I promised myself I wouldn’t do.
Still mad and stubborn I couldn’t 42 . I had to teach him his flip. He was doing fine with it by the time we had to leave to go to karate. While taking the test, he did 43 . His instructor would ask him to do something, and it became 44 for him. He never asked him to do the back-flip. He had passed his yellow belt test.
We got in the car to 45 when he looked at me and said ”Mom, why did you make me do that back-flip so many times, 46 it wasn’t even on the test.” The words wouldn’t have 47 anything to anyone else, but it was a slap in my face. That night while 48 in bed, I told him I loved him.
He was 49 and didn’t say anything, just giggled. I said “I really do love you baby.” I was still feeling 50 , and also wondering if he had 51 me. Finally he replied in the 52 voice, “I know you do, but I love you more.”
He had forgiven me and I had decided that his feeling were more 53 than any test he would 54 take. I made a new 55 to be better mother and to accept that he was only a child.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One time I arrived in the middle of the night for a pickup at a building that was except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked.

A small woman in her 80’s opened the door. I took her suitcase to the cab then returned to her into the cab. She thanked me for my kindness. When we got in the taxi, she gave me a(n) , then asked, “Could you drive through downtown ?”

“It’s not the way,” I answered.

“Oh, I don’t mind,” she said. “I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice (临终关怀医院).”

I looked in the rear view mirror. Her eyes were glistening.

“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”

I quietly reached over and the meter (计程器). “What would you like me to take?” I asked.

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Sometimes she’d ask me to in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

As the sun was , she suddenly said: “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”

We drove in to the address she had given me. There were people waiting for her and they put her in a wheelchair.

“How much do I have to pay you?” she asked, reaching into her purse.

“Nothing,” I said.

Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly.

“You gave an old woman a little moment of ,” she said.

I squeezed her hand, then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut.

I didn’t any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. We tend to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often 47 us unconsciously.
