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   21 ．I used to become    22  when strangers stared at US when we had conversations．But embarrassment soon became pride when I   23  that people were only staring because they thought our language was   24  And indeed it is．He can   25  more with his face and   26  than most children of his age can say with their voices．To me，nothing is more beautiful than a child’s small hands   27  “I love you” or “Mama，hold me”．

    People will   28  up to us，sometimes embarrassed and nervous，sometimes shy，but always 29  about this beautiful language we use．And when we do meet someone who “speaks” his language，it’s a   30  and wonderful gift．Last week the whole family went to a nearby Zuka Juice．I   31  many people watching me sign with Noah．

    Near the front door were two missionaries(传教士)．One of them was   32  our conversation，and   33  at Noah．Noah waved back and smiled．What the young man did next made my heart   34  and tears come to my eyes．

    I watched with   35  as his hands formed the signs for “You are beautiful”．I controlled my tears and watched him do it    36  ．Noah turned and looked at me，his eyes huge， 37  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   38 

His   39  ．with my son was like a my of sunshine．Even now when I   40  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．
