I was both excited and a little scared in my first day of kindergarten. The large classroom was full of books and          , two kinds of things that I loved. But it was also full of kids all    than me. Because my       was in late September, I was       in at only 4 years old, and this meant I was destined(注定的) to be smallest kid in my       until the 7^th grade.
I think my mom sensed I was a little      . That was why she was always there to pick me up right after school when I could have      ridden the bus. I would sit in the front seat     her and tell her all about my     . Sometimes we would even read a book and       until all the cars and the buses had left before we       home. I felt so safe and peaceful when we sat in the car together. I      those special times when I had my mom all to myself. Beginning the new challenge of school didn’t seem so       when I knew I could talk about it with her. Being a tiny, little kid in a big scary       wasn’t so bad either. I knew my mom loved me and that was all I       to be loving, joyful, and strong.
      I look back on those happy times, I can see now that they also       me for what I would find later in life. Even after she       too soon, I could still feel her love flowing down from Heaven.
The next time this world seems too scary or hard, then don’t           . Instead, invite love to the       of your soul, close the doors, and spend some time alone together.
