Question

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and   36   those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again   37  at the pier（码头）waving good-bye to my father as his   38   pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of   39 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of   40   in the new environment again.

Throughout the years of changing   41  , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my    42  and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while   43  some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the   44  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.   45  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother   46  managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and   47 .

This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,   48  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to   49   a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this   50  into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to   51  another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a   52  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and   53  pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.

No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a   54  attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so   55  all those years of my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.
