完形填空

I have faith in that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who turn 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     a room with two double beds and a bathroom was too    for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was      and my stepmother had        us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no      what to do with me. And that’s when my other family     .

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

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

When Su and I     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      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      his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had been convinced that life was entirely     and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.

    the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, selfish and pessimistic woman. They gave me a home that allowed me to grow and    .They kept me from being paralyzed by my    , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.

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