Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 36 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, 37 , 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 38 I understood the pressures on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very 39 to understand. “I guess we all have to 40 sometimes, ” Mother said quietly. I could 41 her pain and the tension of 42 the strong feelings that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me 43 . I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 44 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 45 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I could 46 it was enough.

I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.
