I kept holding my son, the way I      when he was two and came into our bed after a      dream. I asked John if he’d rather sleep than talk, and he said there would be time for      later.
With the      over, under and around me came incredible tiredness. I slept with his voice dying away. It was the first good      I’d had in months. I woke and John was asleep next to me. Sitting by his bed watching him breathe, I found myself praying and      for all the fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, husbands and wives of those who were not coming home. For the first time in my life, I was weeping for      .
Before my son went to war I would never have shed tears for them. My son      me. He taught me that our men and women in uniform are not the “    ”. They are our sons, daughters, brothers and sisters. Sometimes shedding tears for strangers is a holy       . Sometimes it’s all we can do.

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   36  when I was teaching second grade 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our   37  together to come up with ideas of how to   38  our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and   39  to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   40  invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child lined up at our classroom door,   41 the arrival of his or her mom.   42  it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t   43  up and he was looking upset.
I took my mother   44  the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   45  if you could keep my mother   46  while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   47  my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   48  the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   49 .
Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   50  and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   51  was completed. When I came to Jimmy’s   52 , he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   53   his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug.
“Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   54  it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who    55  stopped hugging teachers years ago.

It is possible that we simply do not stay in one place long enough for true friendship to 32  . However, there can be no disagreement on the need for each of us to think carefully about the kind of friendship we want.

But at some point we need to make sure that our expectations are the same as our friends' expectations. The sharing of _ 35   experience including our tears as well as our dark dreams is the surest way to deepen friendships. But it must be undertaken(进行) slowly and carried on only if there are sign of interest and action in return.
What are some of the _ 36 _ of friendship? The greatest is the attraction to expect too much too soon. Deep relationships _ 37 _ time. Another “major difficulty" is the selfishness to think one “possesses" the other, including his time and attention. Similarly, friendships     38  actions in return. In other words, you must give as much as you take. Finally there is a question of taking care of. Unless you spend _ 39 _ time together, talking on the phone, writing letters, doing things together, friendships will die    40   .
