into my grief (悲痛), my uncle suggested planting a tree in ____2____ of her. He had visited my parents many

years ago during a California spring. They drove down a neighborhood street lined with blooming dogwood trees

and ever since, the ____3____ of a dogwood reminded him of my mom.

We planted the dogwood in May. Its gray trunk (树干) was as thin as my mother’s arms. It lay in the

grew, too, learning how to tend to them. So many lessons that nature already knew, that my mother must have

known but didn’t have time to ____8____, I applied to my own life.

A part of me believes this is my mother’s gift she gave to me after she passed away—the ability to encourage

and celebrate ____9____ where there was none, to make flowers appear out of the dirt. It is her reminder to find the

good in whatever I’m _____10_____, and a promise that wherever she is, it is beautiful.
