The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did 15 years ago, which reminded me of my girlhood.
It was my second day of 16 and it was raining heavily. I couldn’t 17 the habit I had at home, so I fell asleep right at my 18 . I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad’s back. We were 19 home. It was the last time I felt 20 to him.
After that, I realized that he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered by this 21 . I was proud of it, for I felt 22 and “grown up”. However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 23 from him.
One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 24 me scratching (乱涂) the paper quickly. Then he said, “This kind of writing needs 25 . Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”
I followed his 26 for the next two weeks, but 27 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method—— the 28 way. His advice didn’t improve my writing but our 29 . As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 30 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a 31 . People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.
He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are 32 to improve you anything for your future. You have to get 33 to change the life for yourself.”
As a result of his 34 , I have 35 it through high school and through college.

My friend Michelle is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 16 , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression that she’s 17 anything.

I 21 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very 22 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was 23 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to 24 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Michelle 25 with us”.

Michelle had also heard Kayla’s 34 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Michelle really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my 35 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
