Two feet down the table, I knock on a chair with a bowl and a spoon, 43 my own invisible (无形的) powder. We wear 44 dresses, mine the leftover 45 from hers, sky blue — mommy’s favorite color. I am her shadow.
However, by 14 I could not 46 my mother. All that I heard every day was NO. I wanted to dye my hair and she said no. I wanted to 47 late with my friends and she said no. I didn’t understand why she said no. She was trying to 48 me from aches and pains and mistakes 49 in her teens. Several years later, I finally understood her, but it was too late. She became ill. I cried and 50 , “Don’t take her, God, please! She is my mother, my mommy, ma, the woman who gave me life. All my years, 51 the hard times and the good, she has been there, 52 to me forever by an invisible umbilical cord (脐带) that lasts longer after birth.”But this cord, this love could do nothing to stop the cancer from 53 .
A few years later 54 I myself lay in the hospital bed, my newly born daughter was 55 in my arms. I cried and smiled and prayed. Please help me to 56 her into a wonderful girl. And looking down 57 her eyes, I could see the message they held, “Your 58 would be proud.”
I stand in the kitchen now, and these thoughts flashed through my mind. I glance at my young daughter. A 59 feeling rushes through my soul as I take in the familiar 60 .
I am my mother’s shadow.
