From the time each of my children started school, I packed their lunches. And in each lunch, I 1 a note. Often written on a napkin (餐巾), it might be a thank-you for a 2 moment, a reminder of something we were happily expecting, or a bit of 3 for the coming test or sporting event.
In early grade school they 4 their notes. But as children grow older they becomes self-conscious(有自我意识的), and 5 he reached high school, my older son, Marc, informed me he no longer 6 my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to 7 them but I still needed to write them, I 8 until the day he graduated.
Six years after high school graduation, Marc called and asked if he could move 9 for a couple of months. He had spent those years well, graduating from college, 10 two internship (实习) in Washington, D.C., and 11 , becoming a technical assistant in Sacramento. 12 short vacation visits, however, he had lived away from home. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was 13 happy to have Marc back. Since I was 14 making lunch for his younger brother, I 15 one for Marc, too. Imagine my 16 when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, 17 his lunch.
“Did I do something 18 ? Don’t you love me 19 ,Mom?” were just a few of the questions he threw at me as I 20 asked him what was wrong.
“My note, Mom,” he answered. “Where’s my note?”
