1 . It was Mother’s Day, the day we celebrate everything mothers are and everything we do .But that Sunday in 2008 was bittersweet for me. As a single mother I tended to think of my shortcomings —how many evenings I couldn’t spend with my children , and how many things I couldn’t _______ my waitress’ salary to buy .
But what _______ kids I had! They were _______ impolite enough to complain.
As I walked into the kitchen quietly to start breakfast, I was greeted by a vase _______ a dozen red roses! But even their delicate beauty was overshadowed by the note sitting beside them, in the quick, manly _______ of an eighteen-year-old. It was about a story that happened between Denny and me long ago. It _______: …She took a day off from her busy _______ to take the boy to see his hero in the flesh at the stadium. It took 3.5hours just to get there, and on their arrival, she took her hard-earned money to buy an overpriced T-shirt on which was _______ his hero. After the game, she stayed with the little boy to get his hero’s signature until one o'clock in the morning …

It took me long enough to _______ it, but I finally know who the ________ hero is. Mom, I love you!And suddenly, it was a happy Mother’s Day, after all.
