I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.

In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  21  a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too  22  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   23   and my stepmother had   24   us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   25_   what to do with me. And that’s when my other family   26  .

Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27   their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   28   with them for the next seven years.

Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She   29   I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  30  I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  31  between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.

When Su and I  32  college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.

The Beaches knew  33  about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34  his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

 36  the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)  37  that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使瘫痪 ,使麻痹 ,使无能力)by my _38   , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

I   39  family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was   40   , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.
