Sitting down to write a few words of good wishes got me to _________ . There were many things that I did appreciate(感激), so I decided to list all of them.

My mother taught us to be good neighbors by _________ others if they needed a hand. My father taught us how to work. The _________ went on and on.
I put the cookies and the letter on the table in her kitchen. That evening, she called and _________ me. She said it was a wonderful birthday _________ .
Two years later, she passed away. While cleaning out her house, I __________ a photocopy(复印件)of the birthday letter. I was __________ as to why she would make a copy.
