December 24 arrived along with a heavy snow. It was my first Christmas Eve without my mother, and the day’s usual 36 had disappeared.
The telephone rang. I 37 it and went to my bedroom to bury the continuous 38 , knowing it must be my friend Rebecca calling. How could I be 39 ? I wanted to be left 40 .
My heart felt as 41 as the falling snow. 42 can I stop missing my mother?
I 43 the window. Seeing Rebecca’s car parked out front, I went back to my bed and drew the covers over my head.

My life as a little person is filled with stories. I enjoy talking to children and explaining why I look different from their parents.It has taken many years of 36 my confidence to be able to do that.
I didn’t 37 how short I was until I started school.As time went on,I just tried to smile and accept the fact that I was going to be 38 my whole life.I was determined to make my 39 an advantage rather than a disadvantage.My friends became increasingly 40 . They’d help me up the bus steps.If people were cruel,they would take them aside and 41 them.
42 I lacked in height,I 43 in personality my ability to laugh,even at myself.For example,one time I was 44 the washing machine at my parents’ house to grab the wet clothes.I fell 45 in and yelled for Mother,who was sitting nearby reading the paper.Watching feet 46 everywhere,she laughed and said,“I should leave you in there.” I 47 her.
I’m 47 now,and the 48 have not reduced as I’ve grown older.People ask my friends if I live in a dollhouse.They look 49 when they see me get out of my car on the driver’s side.During those times,I try to keep a good 50 . When people are rude,I 51 myself,“Look what else I have --a great family,nice friends.”
And it’s the children’s questions that make my life 52 .“Why are you so short? How old are you? Are you a mommy?” When I talk with children,they are left 53 that their questions have been answered.My hope is that in taking time with them,I will 54 them to accept their peers,whatever size and shape they come in, 55 treat them with respect.
