As we drove across town, I prepared my two children for what they were about to see. A lady from our new church was dying of cancer, and I had volunteered to help her with the house-work. “Annie has a tumor(肿瘤) in her head, which has disfigured(损毁…的外形) her face,” I warned.

I struggled for the words to describe Annie’s appearance to my son and daughter. Then I remembered a movie I’d seen with my son. I wanted him to understand that disabled people are like anyone else—their feelings can be hurt, too.

“David, remember the movie Mask about the boy with the facial deformity(畸形)?”

“Yes, Mom. I think I know what to expect.” His tone(语气) told me it was time to stop mothering him so much.

“What does a tumor look like?” Diane asked me.

I didn’t want to frighten the child, so I prepared her just enough but not too much.

“Her tumor looks like the skin on the inside of your mouth. It sticks out from under her tongue and makes it hard for her to talk. You’ll see it as soon as you meet her, but there’s nothing to be afraid of. Remember, don’t stare.” Diane nodded. I knew she was trying to picture a tumor in her mind.

We entered the living room, where Annie was sitting in her chair. At the sight of my children, Annie’s face brightened. “Oh, I’m so glad you came to visit,” she said toughly.

David walked across the room to Annie’s chair, put his arms around her shoulders and pressed his cheek to her face. Smiling, he looked into her eyes and said, “I’m happy to meet you.” Just when I didn’t think I could be more proud, Diane copied her big brother and gave Annie the precious, accepting hug of a child. My throat tightened with emotion as I saw Annie’s eyes well up with grateful tears.
