I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.

  In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  41  a room with two double beds and a bathroom. It was too  42  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   43  and my stepmother had  44  us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no  45  what to do with me. And that’s when my other family  46  .

  Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home  47  their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I  48  with them for the next seven years.

  Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She  49  I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  50  I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  51  between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.

  When Su and I  52  college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.

  The Beaches knew  53  about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to  54  his kids. By the time I went to live with the Beaches I believed that life was entirely  55  and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

  56  the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)  57  that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed (瘫痪) by my  58  , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

 I  59  family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was  60  , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.
