I can honestly say it was the best of times and the worst of times. I was joyfully 1my first child at the same time that my once – energetic mother was 2her battle with brain cancer.

For ten years, my courageous mother had fought, but none of the operations or other 3

had been successful. As she grew closer and closer to death, my baby grew closer and closer to life My biggest 4fear was that their lives would never 5- she and my baby could never 6each other.

My fear seemed 7. A few weeks before my 8date, mother went into a deep coma (昏迷) and doctors said she would never 9. So we brought her to her own house. As often as I could, I 10her about the baby moving inside me. I hoped that somehow 11inside, she knew.

On February 3^rd, at about the same time my labor（分娩）started at hospital, the nurse at the house told me the 12news: Mom opened her yes, sitting up and smiling. I asked for the phone to be 13to mom’s ear.

“Mom, you will have a new grandchild!”

“Yes! Yes! I know.”

Four words, four 14and beautiful words!

For the next two miracle weeks after I brought Jacob home, she gave us joy, smiling, holding Jacob and speaking to the family in complete 15. Then she quietly slipped back into a coma 16and was finally free 17the pain forever.

Memories of my son’s birth will always be 18for me, but it was at this time that I learned an important truth about living. 19both joy and sorrow are lasting only a short time, and often intertwined (相互纠缠), love has the 20to face both. And love can last forever.

There are a few memories from our childhood that will stay with us forever. A few that seemed so 36 at the time may cause us to smile years later.

One such memory is a phone call I 37 when I was about three or four years old. My mother had entered a contest on a local 38 show. Entrants（参加者）were to tell an interesting story about their 39 . Winners would receive a phone call from Mrs. Santa Claus（女圣诞老人）! Mrs. Claus would award（奖励） the lucky child free 40 of a local store.

Well, the call came. My mother talked to Mrs. Claus and then 41 the phone to me. I didn’t 42 the fact that many people were listening to our conversation. However, the fact that this lady had a 43 connection to Santa, that was important.

I didn’t know it yet, but my mother had 44 the attention of the contest judges by telling about the time I had 45 a wall with crayons（蜡笔）. Even I knew that this was not the kind of 46 that Santa would approve.

Suddenly, in a very pleasant tone（语气）of 47 , Mrs. Santa Claus asked me about my art work. I 48 that this lady was the real Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress standing in for her.

I 49 down the phone and ran crying from the room. My crime（罪行）had not 50 unpunished. Santa would 51 know that I’d been bad!

It turned out that I did get a 52 present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助商）. And I guess Santa didn’t find out about the wall. Maybe he did and was in a 53 mood. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 54 a piece of coal（煤）.

I wonder what Santa has in 55 for this year. Hopefully my wife hasn’t written Mrs. Claus any letters.

I recently heard a story about a famous scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a reporter who asked him 36 he thought he was able to be so much more 37 than the average person.

He 38 that it all came from a(n) 39 with his mother that occurred when he was about 2. He had been trying to remove milk from the fridge when he 40 the slippery(光滑的) bottle, its contents running all over the kitchen floor.

When his mother came in, 41 shouting at him or giving him a lecture, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful 42 you have made! I have 43 seen such a huge pool of milk. Well, the damage has already been 44 . Would you like to get down and 45 in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"

Indeed, he did. After a few minutes, his mother said, "Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, eventually you have to 46 everything to its proper order. So, how would you like to do that? We could use a sponge(海绵), a towel or a mop. Which do you prefer?" He chose the sponge.

His mother then said, "You know, what we have here is a 47 experiment in how to effectively carry a big milk bottle with two 48 hands. Let's go out in the back yard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can make it." The little boy learned that if he 49 the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful 50 !

This scientist then remarked that it was at that moment that he knew he didn't need to be 51 to make mistakes. Instead, he learned that mistakes were just 52 for learning something new, which is, 53 , what scientific experiments are all about. Even if the experiment "doesn't 54 ," we usually learn something 55 from it.

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just 1 in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n) 2 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 3 .

The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they 4 the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames 5 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.

6 , one of the boys was quick-minded, grasped my son, and rolled him on the grass. While it saved his life, it was not in 7 to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars (伤疤). So, he had to return to college with scars.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very 8 scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t 9 it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I 10 this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to 11 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 did not matter, so he made the 12 to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).

We all have “scars” that 13 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 14 standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your 15 and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.
