It was one afternoon a few months after Tom and I were married. Max, Tom’s son walked into the dining room, where I was looking _______ my old photos.

These months I was learning to let Max come_______ on his own. If I moved too quickly, he ran away. If I was patient, we often ended up playing, laughing, and recently, even sitting together on the sofa with a book.

“Who’s that?” he pointed to one photo.

“My mom. I suppose she is your grandma Sylvia.”

“Cool. Who is that to me?”

“That was my grandfather. He died a few months ago.”

“Hmm. Too bad he had to die.”

Death is always a painful(痛苦的) _______ especially for a seven-year-old child who lost his mother only two years before. I secretly put away the pictures of dead relatives.

He began to finger through the photos. “Who is that to me?”

Under his finger I could see my own face. I should have known the answer to his question. But I said, “I’m your_______ mom. I’m sorry that your first mom died.”

“What should I call you?” he asked.

Mom, I wanted to cry. I held back.

“You can call me Mom or Betsy, _______ feels OK for you.”

I waited, _______ my new title.

“Sweet.” He said, walking out of the room.

For a couple of days after that, Max _______ a new title for me. “Can we go bowling?” “Can I watch TV?” he would ask, and follow the questions by mouthing Mom, _______ the word Mom was always silent.

One weekend, he suddenly said, “I notice I don’t call you Mom.”

“I noticed that too.”

“_______ I say Betsy, I mean Mom. Moms die, you know. I think it’s maybe __________ if you’re just Betsy.”

Tears(眼泪) were filling my eyes.

“Hey, Betsy?”

“Yeah,” I said, taking pleasure in the new announcement of my old name.
