Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was ¡¡1 into stillness by what I saw. Mother was seated at the far end of the sofa, ¡¡2 , with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn¡¯t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how ¡¡3 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very ¡¡4 to understand. ¡°I guess we all have to ¡¡5 sometimes,¡± Mother said quietly. I could ¡¡6 her pain and the tension (½ôÕÅ) of ¡¡7 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me ¡¡8 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face ¡¡9 my shoulder and sobbed (à¨Æü). I held her ¡¡10 and didn¡¯t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could ¡¡11 it was enough. In that moment, feeling mother¡¯s ¡¡12 with feelings, I understood for the first time, she being so easy to ¡¡13 . She was still my mother, ¡¡14 she was something ¡¡15 , a person having the ability of bearing fear, ¡¡16 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought ¡¡17 in her arms.

A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station ¡¡18 . ¡°It¡¯s a job I can do, though,¡± she said simply. But the evening practice on the old green typewriter continued. I had a very ¡¡19 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her tapping ¡¡20 across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

¡¡¡¡I was in a rush as always, but this time it was for an important date I just couldn¡¯t be late for!

¡¡¡¡¡°Well, I think she¡¯s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her,¡± the woman said£®¡±My husband used to bring me flowers every week-even when times were tough and we didn¡¯t have much money£®Those were incredible days; he was very romantic and-of course- I miss him since he¡¯s passed away£®¡±
