    I had an auto-repair man once, who, on these intelligence tests, could not    3    have scored more than 80.    4   , when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him —and he always    5    it.

    Well, then, suppose my auto-repair man    6    questions for some intelligence tests. By every one of them I'd prove myself    7   . In a world where I have to work with my   8   , I'd do poorly.

    Consider my auto-repair man    9   . He had a habit of telling    10   . One time he said, “Doc, a deaf-and-dumb (聋哑) man    11    some nails. Having entered a store, he put two fingers together on the counter and made    12    movements with the other hand. The clerk brought him a hammer. He    13    his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering. The clerk    14    him some nails. He picked out the right size and left. Well, Doc, the    15  man who came in was blind. He wanted scissors (剪刀).    16    do you suppose he asked for them?” I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers. He burst out laughing and said, “Why, you fool, he used his    17    and asked for them. I've been    18    that on all my customers today, but I knew    19    I'd catch you.” “Why is that?” I asked. “Because you are so goddamned educated. Doc. I knew you couldn't be very    20   .”

    And I have an uneasy feeling he had something there.

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett's jeans and shirt full of burn holes.

Tired and defeated, I 21 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 22 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 23 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 24 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 25 Brett had done to our once quiet home.

Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 26 as possible, but inside I was shouting,"I don't want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can't 27 him!" Having wiped my tears, I continued 28 him as before.

When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 29 teens.

At the 30 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 31 the most to him or her.

Brett spoke 32 to his parents and then spoke to me, "You did so much. You were always there, no matter 33 happened. My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, 34 troubled enough by me, always 35 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it."

36 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 37 .

At that moment, tears 38 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 39 . Although I had struggled with silent 40 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.
