Question

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would __36__ what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought __37__ was very important to us as humans, so I said, "My ears, Mommy."  She said, "No. Many people are __38__. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon."

       Several years passed __39__ she asked me again. Since making my first __40__, I had often thought of the correct answer. So this time I told her, "Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes." She looked at me and told me, "You are __41__ fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind."

      __42__ the years, Mother asked me a couple more __43__ and always her answer was, "No, but you are getting __44__ every year, my child." Then last year, my Grandpa died. Everybody was heart broken. Everybody was crying. My Mom looked at me when it was our __45__ to say our final good-bye to Grandpa. She asked me, "Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?"

       I was __46__ when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a __47__ between her and me. She saw the __48__ on my face and told me, "This question is very important. It shows that you have really __49__ your life." I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, "My dear, the most important body part is your __50__."  I asked, "Is it because it holds up your head?" She replied, "No, it is __51__ on them a crying friend or loved one can rest their head. I only hope that you have enough __52__ and friends that you will have a shoulder to cry __53__ when you need it." Then and there I knew the most important body part is not a __54__ one. It is sympathetic to the pain of __55__.
