December 24 arrived along with a heavy snow. It was my first Christmas Eve without mother and the day’s usual _______ had disappeared.
The telephone rang. I _______ it and went to my bedroom to bury the continuous sadness, knowing it must be my friend Rebecca calling. How could I be _______? I wanted to be left alone .
My heart felt as _______ as the falling snow. How can I stop missing my mother?
I _______ the window. Seeing Rebecca’s car parked out front, I went back to bed and drew the covers over my head.
“Lucy!” she shouted. “I know you’re in there. Answer the door!”
“Leave me alone!” I _________ back. I heard paper rustling(沙沙作响) as she slid _________ under the door.
“Merry Christmas,” she called out.
Not answering the _________ made me feel even worse. It wasn’t fair to my best friend. Her father and sister _______ in a car accident when she was eight years old. __________, her mother had to return to __________, and Rebecca was left to look after herself.
When she left, I carried the small package, sat down and __________ it. Inside was a gold pen and a journal. When I opened the journal’s front cover, out fell a bookmark with a(n) __________ written on it:
Dear Lucy,My words won’t heal(治愈) the __________. But your own words can.
Love,
Rebecca
As I stared(盯着) at the journal’s blank pages, a single tear fell on the page which quickly absorbed it. That night, I __________ the phone and called her. “It looks like the snow is melting(融化),” I said. “Spring is just around the corner.”
