题目内容:
My mum was young when she fell pregnant with me. After I was born it was decided that my father’s relatives would ________ me in Manchester. No one spoke about Mum. Eventually, I was shown letters from Mum, ________ 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 ________ me down on Facebook, and we had been ________ for some time, but had met only once or twice. Leanne had been brought up by our mother’s parents, and had some ________ with Mum throughout her life. She was now living in Canada, but returning for Christmas and ________ to see all the family together. A big party had been arranged to welcome her back, and everyone would be there, including our ________.
In a very short time my sister and I hatched a ________. I’d meet my sister as she arrived at Manchester airport, then we’d drive up to Glasgow ________. Keeping it a surprise gave us a rush. After about a four-hour drive, we were there. I’d ________ 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 ________. Seeing someone so alike looking back at me was the strangest but most ________ experience. Though a lifetime may have ________ us, this woman at a party in Glasgow was my mum. She ________ at me for a second, before giving me a tight hug. All she could say was that she never thought we’d ________ again.
She’d been ________ of drugs for five years. She told me how she now works for a charity that helps young people ________ the same problems she had. We now talk regularly, and I feel ________ she’s my mother. That’s something I couldn’t have even ________ when the door opened to her at that Christmas party.
