For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed 36 clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments 37 all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents, 38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life 39 smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into 40 arguments with my older and wiser parents. The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d 44 a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. Then mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of 48 . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.
Hugs will 50 be her trademark(标志): warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to 51 your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so 54 . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite 55.
