　　36

　　,then kiss my forehead.

　　I don’t remember when it first started

　　37

　　me. But it did. Finally one night, I shouted out as her, “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too

　　38

　　！” She didn’t say anything in reply. But never again did my mother

　　39

　　my day with that familiar

　　40

　　of her love.

　　With the years passing, my thoughts

　　41

　　to that night, when I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight

　　42

　　on my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very

　　43

　　, while sometimes far away. But always it was hidden in the back of my

　　44

　　. Now Mom is in her seventies, and those hands that I

　　45

　　thought to be so rough are still doing things for me and my

　　46

　　. And now my own children are grown and gone. One Thanksgiving Eve,

　　47

　　I slept in the bedroom of my youth, a

　　48

　　hand hesitantly run across my face to

　　49

　　the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so

　　50

　　, touched my brow.

　　In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night and my young voice

　　51

　　. “Don’t do that any more – your hands are too rough!”

　　52

　　, I caught Mom’s hand in hand, saying how

　　53

　　I was for that night. I thought she’d remember, as I did. But Mom didn’t know

　　54

　　I was talking about. She had forgotten, and forgiven long ago.

　　That night, I fell asleep with a new

　　55

　　for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found.
