I can honestly say that it was the best of times and also the worst of times in my life. I was __36  expecting my first child but my once energetic mother was __37__ her battle against a brain disease.

For ten years, my mother had fought against the disease, but  38  of the treatments had been successful. Unfortunately, she became totally  39 _ , unable to speak, walk, eat or dress  40_  her own.  As she grew closer and closer to  41 _, my baby grew closer and closer to life inside me. I was sad not only for the upcoming  42   of my mother, but also that she and my baby would never know each other.

A few weeks  43  my due date, Mother  44  a deep coma(昏迷). Her doctors did not hold any hope and said that it was  45  to put in a feeding tube-she would never wake up. We brought Mother home, and tried our best to keep her  46  . I sat beside her and talked to her about the baby moving  47   me. 

On February 3, 2008, just as I gave birth to my baby, Jacob, something impossible occurred:

Mother was sitting up, her oxygen tubes  48_  . When I brought Jacob home, Mom was sitting in her chair,  49  to welcome him. Tears of joy filled my eyes as I  50  my son in her arms. They just  51 at each other.

For two weeks, Mother smiled and held Jacob. She spoke to my father, her children and grandchildren in complete  52_ . She gave us  53  . Then she quietly slipped back into a coma and, after  54  from all of her children she was finally free of the pain and  55  away. Believe it or not, love can last forever.
