We lived nearby a hospital and rented the upstairs rooms to the patients from the hospital.
As I was preparing supper one summer evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly terrible-looking man--no taller than my eight-year-old son. But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling. He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success." I guess it's my face…,
but my doctor says with a few more treatments …"
I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury. He didn't tell it by way of complaint;
in fact, every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin cancer.
Before he left for his bus the next day, he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment. I told him he was welcome to come again. In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden.
When I received these little gifts, I often thought of a comment our neighbor made after he left that first morning." Did you keep that terrible-looking man last night? I turned him away. You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!" Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have
known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad and the good as well.

People say that a mother’s love knows no boundaries (边界). This is true when it comes to my mother. She has given up many things so that my sisters and I could live a better life.
My mother comes from a large family and her parents died when she was quite young. She dropped out of school when she was fifteen because no one could afford to pay her studies. At the age of 19, she married my father and when they had my sisters and I, they moved to the United States so that we could have a better life. My parents did not know English but somehow they communicated with other people. My mother stayed at home and raised us while my father was working. There were so many dangerous incidents that happened where we lived that my mother finally decided that we all moved to Texas when I was seven.
My mother has worked so hard to give us everything. She always tells us that all she wants is for us to be happy.
As the saying goes, “You don’t appreciate (意识到) something until it’s gone.” Well, I finally had a chance to experience it. My mother went to Mexico this winter because she needed to have an operation. It was the first time in my life that my mother was not ther
e to hold and comfort me. Those two weeks when she was away made me realize how much I love her. All she has done for me is incredible (难以置信的). When I suffer she suffers with me. I have to show her how much I care about her. She means the world to me.
