I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  21  a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too  22  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   23  and my stepmother had   24  us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   25_  what to do with me. And that’s when my other family   26 .
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27  their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   28  with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She   29  I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  30 I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  31 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I  32 college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew  33 about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34 his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

Each day in her class, Virginia DeView reminded us about this. Finally, I  39  print journalism. This meant I had to go to interview a newspaper reporter. I was extremely nervous.
