Michelle is blind, but she makes such good use of her other senses that guests rarely realize that she is blind.
When my daughter Kayla came back from her home, she was very 1 about her day. She told me that she had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was especially excited about her finger-painting project. “I learned how to 2 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! Michelle 3 with us too. She said she liked how the paint feels through her fingers,” said Kayla.
Something about my child’s excitement caught my 4 . this made me sit down and take a look at my child and at myself.
Then Kayla said, “Michelle told me my picture showed joy, 5 and a sense of accomplishment. She 6 saw what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never felt how good finger-painting felt until Michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
This is when I realized Kayla didn’t know that Michelle was blind. It had just never 7 in conversation. When I told her, she was quiet for a moment. At first, she didn’t 8 me. “ But mommy, Michelle understood exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla insisted. I knew my child was 9 because Michelle had listened to Kayla when she 10 her artwork. Michelle had listened to Kayla’s pride in her work, and her wonder at her discovery of the way colors blend.

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 31 other people’s cars as well. It was pretty 32 outside and I had no plans to 33 to be in the bright sun. She 34 wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passersby for free.

All that seemed 44 and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 45 to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to 46 others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 47 to help clean cars. The passersby were 48 and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 49 !
