“I wouldn’t buy that woman a Mother’s Day card, even if my life depended upon it,” said the woman standing by the card shelf at Wal-Mart. I looked up and saw a(n)    of total complaint and dislike.

Having been    at a Florida orphanage at age four, I never knew what it felt like to have a mother or a father. Never once had I received a hug or a kiss from my parents. That part of my life is a total        .

She looked up, saw me looking at her and      angrily, “Just what are you looking at, you fool?”

“Sorry Ma’am. I never had a mother, and I was       by your words.” I reached over and picked up a nice-looking        , opened it and began to read, “Thank you        for being my mother.”

“Do you think your mother would like that card? Mine would, I think,” I said.

“Do you know what it is like to be      at for years, and never be told that you are loved?” she asked.

“My mother didn’t        me, let alone shout. She just took me to the orphanage where I stayed until I grew up,” I replied.

“Don’t you      her?” she asked.

“Oh, I can’t. She’s my mother. Being a mother is a position to be      , even if she is not a very nice person,” I told her. The woman stood there    her head.

     I looked down at the floor and said, “I know your mother might have done a lot of things that        you. It appears as if you hate her. But I can tell you this from my       that disliking her, or even hating her, feels nowhere near as      as never having known a mother at all—good or bad. At least, you feel        . For me, it’s all just a large blank of loneliness inside my heart, and that’s      I’ll feel until I die.”

The woman stood there for a moment.         , she reached out, took the card from my hand, smelled it, and placed it in her cart.

After she left, I        a nice card for my mother. I took it home,         it, and placed it with the other Mother and Father’s Days cards bought all these years, each marked “Address Unknown”.
