I never know how well Mother could keep a
trust until I was going through her things after she died. 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 (踮着脚,蹑手蹑脚) into the hall.
The 5 from the living room shone dimly (昏暗地). 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 (附言,补充) :"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 sisters recalled our childhood.
When Mother 16, I had to go through her personal
belongings. In her desk was a bundle (捆,包) 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."
