as I grew, this sightless eye, in so many ways controlled me that I walked with my face looking at the floor so people would not see the ugly me.
Yet Mama would hold me in her arms, feel my hair gently and say, "If you hold your head up high, it
will be OK. And people will see your beautiful soul." She continued this message whenever I wanted to
hide.
As a little child, I thought Mama meant, "Be careful or you will fall down or bump into something
because you are not looking." As a teenager, I found that my mama"s words helped me begin to realize
that by letting people look at my face, I let them recognize the intelligence and beauty behind my eyes.
In high school I was successful both academically and socially. I was even elected class president, but
inside me I still felt like a freak (畸形人). When things got really bad, I would cry to my mama and she
would look at me with loving eyes and say, "Hold your head up high and face the world. Let them see the beauty that is inside."
When I met the man who became my partner for life, we looked each other straight in the eye, and he
told me I was beautiful inside and out. Mama"s love and encouragement were the spark that gave me the
confidence to overcome my own doubt.
"Hold your head up high" has been heard many times in my home. Now, I"m a mother, too. Each of my children has felt its invitation. The gift my mama gave me lives on in another generation.

having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an
immediate"Yes!". As I planned the meal in my head, I thought of how many times over the years I had
been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother
died, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community
stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy (***) with twins, women of the
church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought
lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals
to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter!
Food is all about comfort. It feeds our bodies, but it can also feed our souls. When you hear people
talking about their favorite holidays, it usually includes their feelings connected with sharing food. I know
that I will have many more opportunities in my lifetime to prepare food for others. It is truly a gift I look
forward to preparing and delivering to someone in need.
