She looked at me the way only a mother can, I saw tears in her eyes. She said, “My dear, the most important part of the body is your ______.”

“Is it because it holds up your head?”

“No,” she replied.” It is because it can ______ the head of a friend or loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometimes.
