Question

Not many people talk to my son. It isn’t that they don’t want to. My son is two years old, and he’s  36 . I used to become  37  when strangers stared at us when we had conversations. But embarrassment soon became pride when I   38   that people were only staring because they thought our language was  39 . And indeed it is. He can  40  more with his face and  41  than most children of his age can say with their voices. To me, nothing is more beautiful than a child’s small hands  42  “I love you ”or “Mama, hold me ”.

People will  43 up to us, sometimes embarrassed and nervous, sometimes shy, but always  44  about this beautiful language we use. And  45  we do meet someone who “speaks” his language, it’s a unique and wonderful gift. Last week the whole family went to a nearby Zuka Juice. I noticed many people  46  us sign with Noah.

     Near the front door were two missionaries(傳教士).One of them was  47  our conversation, and  48  at Noah. Noah waved back and smiled.  49  the young man did next made my heart leap and tears come to my eyes.

     I watched with  50  as his hands formed the signs for “You are beautiful”. I controlled my tears and watched him do it  51 . Noah turned and looked at me, his eyes huge,  52  to say, “MOM, DID YOU SEE THAT?!” The young man then signed to Noah, “How are you?” Noah did a few baby signs back, and  53 .

His  54   with my son was like a ray of sunshine. Even now when I  55  to what he said, it brings tears to my eyes. There aren’t many moments like that for Noah, and it’s a memory I’ll treasure forever.
