Dear Mom and Dad,
I will go to Alice’s home with her after school, and I will have supper and sleep there. Don’t    21   about me. You know that Alice is one of my    22  friends. If you want to talk with me, you can    23   68610598 after 6:00 pm.
Please forgive me for not telling you first. I don’t think you will    24 me to do so if I tell you first.   25  I think teenagers should be allowed to stay at their friends’ houses sometimes. I am sixteen years old and I’m not a little kid    26 . I hope I can make decisions for    27  .
At home, there are too many   28  for me to obey: Don’t stay out so    29  ; don’t have meals before    30   hands; don’t watch TV without finishing homework, etc. Parents should be    31   teenagers, but we need freedom, too.
I don’t like doing my homework    32   at home. I’d love to study    33   Alice. We can learn a lot from each other.    34   please allow me to stay at Alice’s house once a week. If you    35  , Alice can stay at our house with me, too.
Yours,
Lillian

  My mom only had one eye. I hated her.

There was one day during primary school where my mom came to say hello to me. How could she   30   this to me? I threw her a hateful look and ran out. The next day one of my classmates said, “EEEE, your mom only has one eye!” I wanted my mom to just disappear (消失) from my life. I told her that day, “If you’re only making others laugh at me, why don’t you just   31  ?” My mom was silent… I didn’t   32   to think about what I had said, because I was full of anger.

I wanted out of that   33  , and have nothing to do with her. I studied hard and went to Korea.   34   I had my own family. I was happy with my life and my children.

One day, my mom came to visit me. When she stood by the door, my children laughed. I shouted at   35  , “How dare you come to my house and scare (惊吓) my children!’ GET OUT OF HERE! NOW!!!” My mom quietly answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have gotten the wrong   36  ,” and she went away.

One day, I came back for a school reunion (聚会). My neighbors saw me and told me my mom died. They   37   me a letter.

My dearest son,

I think of you all the time.... I’m sorry that I was an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

You see….when you were very little, you got into an accident, and lost your eye. As a mother, I couldn’t   38   you having to grow up with one eye. So I gave you mine. I was so   39   of my son who was seeing a whole new world for me, in my place, with that eye.

With all my love to you,

Your mother
