“Mom, I don't like you,” my two-year-old son, Jack, said.
“Okay ... is that because you love me?” I asked.
“No, you're not lovely.”
That night, as I washed my face, I 1 a little longer in the mirror—not because I was hurt by his 2, but because I noticed there was no light in my eyes.
I took out a pen and started writing a list—a list to 3 myself; a list to put sparkles(闪光) back into my eyes. I once made many lists but seldom accomplished(完成) anything. This time would be 4!
The first goal on my list I wanted to achieve was joining in a Polar Plunge to raise money for the Special Olympics. On that day, when I 5 into my 1980s workout clothes, Jack smiled, “Mom, you look pretty.” Maybe, just maybe some light 6 my eyes.
When coming out of the cold lake, I felt happy and proud. I kept screaming, “I made it!” But one of the most exciting parts of the day was when I stood in front of my 7, which was taped on the refrigerator door. I ticked the first item. With that, I began to take back my life.
Everyone taking part in the Polar Plunge received a shirt. Whenever I wore it, Jack asked, “Is that your Polar Plunge clothing?” I answered proudly, “Yes!”“I want to do that too,” he said. I was happy he remembered I jumped into a 8 lake, and that he wanted to do activities with me.
With each 9 crossed off the list, pieces of myself are 10. Not only am I showing my family it's important to dream, but I'm showing myself that I'm worth it.
