The Sisterhood of the Traveling Diary

Kyra Peralte thought keeping a diary might help her sort out her troubled feelings. In April 2020, the mother of two in New Jersey, started writing about the challenges of handling work, marriage and motherhood during a global crisis.

Writing released emotions, but Peralte, now 46, wanted to know how other women were doing. So she made an unusual offer. She invited women from near and far to fill the     1     (remain) lined pages of her notebook with their own stories. She named the project The Traveling Diary.

She came up with a system: each person     3     (get) to keep the diary for three days and fills as many pages as she wishes. Then she is responsible for mailing it to the next person.

So far, more than 2,000 women from 30 countries     4     (participate). Of course, not all those entries could fit in just one journal. More than 50 of these notebooks are currently     5     use. About 20 completed ones are back in Peralte’s possession.

“It has really evolved into a community,” Peralte says. She sends participants a weekly newsletter and often hosts online meetings so the women get the chance to get to know one another more, share stories and feel     9     (distant). Some of the women, she says, have even become close friends.

Love from the Apple Tree

Once upon a time, there used to be a tall and big apple tree. A little boy, every day to the tree down, climbed up     1     (pick) apples to eat, and slept in the shade of the tree. He loved the apple tree, and it loved to play with him. The little boy gradually grew up and stopped     2     (come) to play every day. One day he came to the tree, picked all the apples and left happily. Another day, the boy came again, and cut off all the branches, happily away to build a house himself. One summer, the boy came back, cut down her tree trunk, built a boat,     3     (sail) away, and did not come back for a long time. After years, the boy returned at last. He was old and wanted     4     more than a place to rest. “Old root is     5     (suitable) to sit down and rest, come on, sit down and rest with me!” The boy sat down, and the apple tree was so happy that it shed tears.

This is a story of everyone. The tree is like our parent.     6     we are young, we love to play with Mom and Dad. Having grown up, we leave them, and only come to them when we need something or when we are in trouble. No matter what, parents will always be there and give everything they     7     to make you happy.

    8     your parents can give you is not necessarily the best in the world, but they will try their best to give you all, and they are afraid that it is not enough; maybe they never said “I love you”, but love you in their own way for a lifetime,     9     is how most parents around the world show their love. For example, a tired father was watching his two daughters eat fried chicken, but he didn’t order anything, telling his daughters that he was not hungry,     10     more money in his pocket. We grow up to know that the world’s most affectionate lie is what the father and mother said: I do not love to cat it and I am not hungry.
