Passage One
I was raised on a farm during the boom years after World War II. I was the third eldest in a family of six boys—no girls. We were all expected to help out around the farm with whatever needed to be done. My mom was no exception as she worked at any job necessary, while raising us six boys.
In my thirteenth year, an event occurred that in hindsight would dramatically alter how I viewed my mom.
It was a hot summer day. My dad, two of my elder brothers and I were busy in the field baling (打包)hay for our horses and cows for the winter. Mom remained at home looking after my three youngsters brothers. She was also there, however, to help offload the full hay rack as quickly as possible to help keep everything running smoothly.
About 8 p.m., we headed home after a hard day's work. Mom busily prepared a big supper for all of us at the house. After supper, we boys all took turns having a bath——the annual 4-H day at the Swan River Fair was the following day and three of my brothers and I were all exhausted and ready to get to bed.
About 1 a.m., I awoke to use the bathroom. As I staggered through the kitchen on my way there, I was bewildered to see that the lights were still on. To my utter amazement, there was Mom
with her back to me busily ironing. On the table were four neat piles of clothes, including marching uniforms for the parade.
It was several years more before I fully realized the signi^cance of what I had witnessed that night. Mom had demonstrated more clearly than any words could have what the love of a mother means.
