  Night after night, my mother came to my bed, even long after my childhood years.She would   1   down and push my long hair out of the way, and then kiss my forehead.

  I don't remember when it first started   2   me-her hands pushing my hair that way, for they felt work-worn and rough   3   my young skin.Finally, one night, I shouted out at her, “Don't do that any more-your hands are too rough!” she made no   4   and left quietly.

  Now, Mom no longer has Dad and lives   11  .One night on Thanksgiving Eve, I found myself   12   to her house to spend the night with her.As I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a familiar hand hesitantly ran across my face to   13   the hair from my forehead.Then a   14  , ever so gently, touched my forehead.I burst into tears.

  That night, I fell asleep with a new   19   for my gentle mother and her caring hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was   20   to be found.
