35  , the gift of gratitude she had given me was far more that the ‘scat’ I had offered her! It was  36  to say who was doing the giving. She was so considerate as she sat at the sat at the very edge of my knee,   37  half her weight so as not to make my legs hurt. I told her that she could sit comfortably, and I wouldn’t   38  . I got one more pure expression of   39  ! And luckily, I was in the window seat, so the little grill had fun  40  the sights form the window! This simple give and take made the day beautiful!

It was 4 o’clock in the morning on June 9, 2003 when I received the phone call. “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  21  in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We have called for a(n)  22  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was  23  .

The doctor described the  24  , which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment. When they  25  the charcoal(木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much petrol. The flames  26  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.

27  , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and  28  him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in  29  to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars.

After he  30  from the treatments, the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容) for 6 months  31  it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling. So he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very  32  scar on her arm, “Nancy, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It does not mean they will not  33  it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I  34  this wisdom on to my son. He kept my advice in  35  and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars didn’t  36  , so he made the  37  to give up any plastic surgery.

We all have “scars” that we believe  38  people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same  39  standards. Put your imperfections(缺点；瑕疵) out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  40  yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36   teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37   the same things thousand and one times, do not   38  me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40  , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42   little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47   legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48 , the same way I did when you gave your first   49  . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50   any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51   my mistakes, I always wanted the   52   thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me   53   you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54   living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
