I discovered something I had 1 forgotten, something that happened to me as a child.
One night, as I lay in bed 2 my sister and I had said our prayers, I recalled the events of the day and
how 3 I had behaved towards Mother. "I must make things right before going to sleep," I thought.
Quickly I 4 out of bed and picked up a pencil and paper, then tiptoed into the hall. The 5 from the
living room shone dimly. I knew Mother was downstairs mending socks.
I quickly 6 a note asking Mother to forgive me for being so 7 . I didn"t want my brothers and
sisters to know our 8 so I added a postscript: "Please don"t let anyone see this." Then I quietly moved 9
my parents" bedroom and put the letter under Mother"s pillow.
The next morning, when I 10 my bed after breakfast, I unexpectedly 11 a note under my pillow.
Mother wrote that she loved me and 12 me.
This became my 13 of apologizing whenever I talked back or disobeyed. Mother always left a note,
but she never 14 our under-the-pillow messages in front of the family. Even when we were 15 , she never
mentioned them when we brothers and sister recalled our childhood.
When Mother 16 , I had to go through her personal belongings. In her desk was a bundle of notes tied
with a faded ribbon (布条). On top was a message in her handwriting. It read,"In the event of my death,
please
17 these."
I 18 the packet and glanced at the handwriting on the bottom. To my surprise, I 19 my childish
writing, "P.S. Please don"t let anyone see this. Love, Edie."
I gently placed the unopened bundle in the 20 along with other things for the rubbish burner."Lord,"
I prayed,"make me like my mother."
