“Grandma was sick after your aunt Mary was born. Since there was no one to 28 your mum and uncles, I had to 29 them to an orphanage(孤儿院) because I had to hold more jobs until your grandma got better. The most difficult decision I had ever 30 was to put my babies there. Every week I went to see them; the workers there didn’t 31 me to talk to them. They thought that was better for the children. I could only 32 my children play from behind a one-way mirror. I brought them candies, but I could only hope they knew the candies were from me. Every time I was permitted(允许) to see them, I would keep my 33 on the glass for thirty minutes, hoping they would see me and come to touch my hands but they 34 did. I’ll never forgive myself for not holding them.”
