Question

I don’t remember when it first started annoying me — her hands pushing my hair that way. But it1 annoy me, for2felt work-worn and rough against my young skin.3 , one night, I shouted out at her, “Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” She didn’t say anything in4. But never again did my mother close out my day with that familiar5 of her love. Lying awake long afterward, my words stuck to me. But pride kept my conscience back, and I didn’t tell her I was6.
Time after time, with the passing years, my thoughts7 to that night. By then I missed my mother’s hands, missed her goodnight kiss upon my forehead. Sometimes the incident seemed very8, sometimes far away. But always it hid in the back of my9 .
Well, the years have passed, and I’m not a little girl any more. Mom is10 her mid-seventies and those hands I once thought to be so rough are11doing things for me and my family. She cooks the best fried chicken in the world, gets stains out of blue jeans and still12 on dishing out ice cream at any hour of the day or night. Through the years, my mother’s hands have put in countless hours of labor.
Now, my own children are grown and gone. Mom no longer has Dad, and on special occasions, I find myself drawn next door to13 the night with her. So it was late on Thanksgiving Eve, as I slept in the bedroom of my14, a familiar hand hesitantly stole15 my face to brush the hair from my forehead. Then a kiss, ever so gently, touched my eyebrow.
In my memory, for the thousandth time, I recalled the night, when my young voice16 ,“Don’t do that anymore — your hands are too rough!” Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I spoke out how sorry I was17that night. I thought she’d remember,18 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had forgotten — and forgiven — long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new19 for my gentle mother and her20hands.
