Many children hope to grow up quickly and do what the adults do. But g   _ up is not easy. Sometimes all that is needed is someone to rely   . For many years, it was Mum. My mother was a career woman and had her    (自己的) problems to take care of,          when I needed her, she was always there. Her         (力量) came from somewhere I don't quite know, somewhere very deep. She was so strong that she would never       down, even if I went to her with all my little-boy problems and            (喊) at her. She m      me stronger and gave me          (勇气) to try things others thought were impossible. A helping hand is always strong e     to lift you up.
