It was a very cold
Thursday. When I observed the1falling onto my car, I
really began to wonder if I was going to2it on time. Of course I
must, because I have no3.
About two weeks ago,
what my4Ellen had talked about was her Christmas
concert to be held in her school and some rumors about it. "Mom, Rachel
was5to sing alone, but she's not! Linda will
replace her to do it." "Mom, you won't believe it,6Lexie's
whole family is coming to the concert, even from another7."
Making a long way out of state to see third graders sing Christmas carols
seemed to be a pretty big deal (待遇) for her.
When I sat in traffic,
I thought about all the school8I had attended alone.
Ellen never mentioned it, but I wonder9she felt about me being
the only one who ever came to her events. My own family lived out of town, and
her father and his family10quite succeeded in fitting those things
into their schedules, I11if it bothered her.
At eight o'clock the12was
scheduled to begin. With only a few minutes to13, I found myself running: first, through the snow-drifted parking
lot, then through the school passage. I entered the14hall and found a vacant seat near the front. From her place onstage,
Ellen saw me15for the chair, and she smiled. I was16enough to hear the loud conversation of the children onstage.
"Look, Ellen,
there is my uncle and my cousin. They came all the way from West Virginia. I
can't believe my whole family is here!" Ellen17at Lexie and said, "My whole family is here, too! Look, there
she is!" Ellen gave me a big smile. I smiled back at her, never once18the melting snow dripping off my head. It19occurred to me that while we tried to teach our children all about20, they actually taught us what life was all about.
