I read the articles slowly, like a 10 student, with mixed feelings as well—my kid, who followed me around not long ago, has now become my 11 .
So I write back. "I've read all those articles. I'll take 12 as a loving son's expectations towards his mother. He must be thinking that his mother is still 13 enough to accept new things. That makes me feel proud. What we parents lack (缺乏) most is the ability to learn and 14 , in both body and mind. Thank you, my son."
In this way we share ideas and 15 each other, with a gentle and beautiful language we seldom use. Every time I read those messages, I feel my heart filled with warmth.
