My mum was young when she fell pregnant with me. After I was born it was decided that my father’s relatives would 41 me in Manchester. No one spoke about Mum. Eventually, I was shown letters from Mum, 42 that she was a drug addict.
All this was running through my head as I arrived in Glasgow on 27 December last year. My sister Leanne, from my mother’s side, had 43 me down on Facebook, and we had been 44 for some time, but had met only once or twice. Leanne had been brought up by our mother’s parents, and had some 45 with Mum throughout her life. She was now living in Canada, but returning for Christmas and 46 to see all the family together. A big party had been arranged to welcome her back, and everyone would be there, including our 47 .
In a very short time my sister and I hatched a 48 . I’d meet my sister as she arrived at Manchester airport, then we’d drive up to Glasgow 49 . Keeping it a surprise gave us a rush. After about a four-hour drive, we were there. I’d 50 called someone “Mum” before. But there she was.
We embraced (拥抱) and although we could hardly get the words out fast enough, we were soon 51 . Seeing someone so alike looking back at me was the strangest but most 52 experience. Though a lifetime may have 53 us, this woman at a party in Glasgow was my mum. She 54 at me for a second, before giving me a tight hug. All she could say was that she never thought we’d 55 again.
She’d been 56 of drugs for five years. She told me how she now works for a charity that helps young people 57 the same problems she had. We now talk regularly, and I feel 58 she’s my mother. That’s something I couldn’t have even 59 when the door opened to her at that Christmas party. Life may be short, but it’s always 60 enough to reconcile (和好).
