My mother came to my bed, night after night, 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. But never again did my mother do it with that familiar expression of her 5 .

With the passing years, my 　6 returned to that night time after time. By then I 　7 my mother’s hands and her goodnight kiss. Sometimes the incident seemed very 8 , sometimes far away, but always it was 9 in the back of my mind.

The years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is in her seventies, and those hands I once 10 to be so rough are still doing things for me and my family.

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.

In my memory, thousands of times, I 　15 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 16 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 17 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 18 long ago.

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.
