Question

I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with my grandparents from the time I was two 1 I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was 2.
Grandma loved music. It was she that first 3 me to Elvis Presley (貓王) as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in 4 with it. Most five-year-olds ask for 5 for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’ albums. I would play them non-stop and 6 to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good.
Grandma played the piano and 7 me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. I 8 started playing music on the piano, and soon Grandma was paying for me to 9 piano lessons from a lady living in the 10. I would come home from 11 and walk three houses down for my lesson. I 12 took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a foundation (基礎(chǔ)) and 13 me to continue to teach myself.
Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I 14 my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to 15 her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice 16 in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most 17 of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very 18 and said, “That’s wonderful!” I 19 to play for her throughout the week I was home.
My grandma passed away two days ago. In my opinion, part of her will live on through every 20 I write or sing in my life.
