【2011·安徽六校检测】Dear God,
Now that I am no longer young, I have friends whose mothers have passed away. have heard these sons and daughters say they 36 fully appreciated their mothers 37 it was too late to tell them.
I am 38 the dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her more each day. My mother does not change , but I do. 39 I grow older and wiser, I realize what an extraordinary person she is. How sad that I am unable to speak these words 40 her presence, but they 41 easily from my pen.
