As a teenager, I didn’t get along well with my mother before. She 36 every aspect of my life, leaving me unable to have my 37 space.
About two years ago, I had a 38 with her. I just couldn’t control my bad temper that day. I said something 39 to mum. Mum was hurt, but she went away without saying anything.
When I was 40 at home. I started to recall the happy time we spent together and realized that I should 41 . But when I saw mum, the 42 moments pushed all the thoughts of saying sorry out of my head. I came back to my bedroom, feeling distracted (心烦意乱的). That night I didn’t’ 43 well.
The next day, I got up earlier than usual. And I 44 a letter beside my bed. It was mum! In this letter, mum 45 how she loved me and how she worried about me. The 46 of mum’s love raced through my mind when I read it. I couldn’t help crying out. I went out of the bedroom and saw mum standing there 47 me.
“I am sorry, mum, Please 48 me!” I said with a guilty conscience (愧疚感). Then I saw tears of 49 coming into mum’s eyes. We embraced (拥抱) emotionally. That moment was totally in my 50 forever.
From then on, 51 there is argument between us, we will write our feelings and thoughts to each other. Then we can 52 and soon get on well.
By telling my story, I just want 53 people to know that if you have problems with you parents, try to find the 54 . Never think that you have nothing to talk with them. They are the persons who always love you and stand 55 you! Maybe they’ve hurt you before, probably just because they didn’t know how to express love.
