    I don’t remember when it first started   22  me—her hands pushing my hair that way．But it did annoy me，for they felt work-worn and rough  23 my young skin．Finally，one night，I  24 her，“Don’t do that anymore your hands are rough!”She didn’t say   25  in reply．But  26  again did my mother close Out my day with that familiar   27  of her love．

    That night，I fell asleep with a new appreciation for my   39  mother and her caring hands. And the  40  that I had carried around for so long was nowhere to be found．
