Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking   39   to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional   40   Brett had done to our once quiet home.

Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as   41   as possible, but inside I was shouting, “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t   42   him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued   43   him as before.

When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping   44   teens (少年) .

At the   45   ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had   46   the most to him or her.

51  , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me   52  . At that moment, tears   53   in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for   54  . Although I had struggled with silent   55   toward my stepson(继子), Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our life, but we can love them.
