1 . When I think of my childhood, I remember cycling with my friends and buying orange candies, but most of all, going home to see my grandma waiting at the doorstep and asking, “How was your day, bunny?”

Nana (I call my grandma Nana) saw me ________. She left me many great ________. She told me stories of the fairies and princesses but also of the wars and how she ________ those days.

Nana was born during the Second World War with a very different lifestyle and childhood from me. She didn’t get ________. In fact, she had to help with the housework. Even when her siblings (兄弟姐妹) got the ________ to learn, she would only watch them read and write. But she never ________. That is the most important lesson she had taught me.

She taught me to be ________ whatever things I had in my life. When I ________ to be selected in my school’s cheerleading team, I was very upset, but she made me realize that, if not in the cheerleading team, something else was out there in the world that was going to happen to ________, and it did. I ________ a state-level gymnast.

As years went by, Alzheimer’s disease (老年痴呆症) ate her from the ________. The ________ who once refused to call me by any name but her “little bunny”, now didn’t even remember what my ________ was. Soon, she forgot who I was until I sang Frank Sinatra’s Fly me to the Moon. The tiny spark (火花) of ________ in her eyes was what I ________. The little glimmer (微光) in her eyes meant that I was her “bunny” once again.

One day, the glimmer ________ disappeared from her eyes and that was the day when I knew I had lost my nana. On her last day on this earth, as I sat beside her bed watching her fall in and out of ________, I heard her hum Fly me to the Moon ________. That was the last time when I heard her ________, but I will keep it in my heart forever.
