I returned home to spend the holiday with my mom excitedly. I was looking forward to sitting down on the sofa, watching TV and      until midnight with her.

However, things weren’t as I expected. Not long        I arrived home, mom got a phone call. One of her friends       her to play cards. She gladly accepted the invitation and went at once. I thought she didn’t like me.

During the following days, I deliberately(故意的)        to speak to her. Whenever she spoke to me, I just stood in silence. But later I began to feel        . Sometimes I really wanted to say sorry to her,       when I saw her making delicious food or buying me      favorite snacks. Maybe she felt sorry for     she had done that night. I began to think that I should do something to make the things     

At the end of the holiday, I began to help with some      from making the bed to cleaning the house, I did        I could when mom wasn’t around. When she returned, she smiled happily.

On the      day，she insisted (坚决要求) on driving me to the bus station. At first we said nothing, then mom said, “Sorry for that night. You know that you mean       than anything to me .”I couldn’t say a word as I tried to     back the tears. Before getting on the bus, I finally said sorry to her. Mom smiled, and there were tears        her eyes. But I knew they were tears of happiness.
