On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I'm terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too; I wasn't even 26____ you. I wish  I didn’t hurt you.”
We were very  27  . We said good-bye and went on our way.
But at home we often  28 our loved ones in a different way.
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned, I nearly  29 her down. “Move out of the way.” I shouted. She walked away, tears (眼泪) in her eyes.
While I lay awake in bed, I realized how  30  I’d spoken. So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some  31 by the door of the kitchen. At that time my tears began to fall. I quietly went and got down on my knees by her  32 . She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her. Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”
She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I picked them  33 they're pretty like you. I knew you’d like them. I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.”“Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have shouted at you.”
“ That’s okay. Mom. I  34  you anyway.”
I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word   35  like this: (F) ather (A) nd (M) other, (I) (L) ove (Y) ou!

My dad used to say he knew I would be a singer. When I was a baby, I was always singing loudly. Dad was a big sports fan, but he was happy I loved music.

After dinner, Dad would often ask me to sing. He always said I sang I Will Always Love You much better than Whitney Houston!

At every school concert he cheered me on. The look of pride on his face made me happy.

My life was full of concerts, singing lessons and laughter. Though my mum and brothers helped me, they did not share our love for music.

Our lives changed when Dad was told that he had cancer. We always hoped that something would happen and he would get better, but the doctors told us that they could not save him.

About a week before my dad died, he fell into a coma (昏迷). The nurses said even though Dad did not reply, he could still hear me.

The nurses said I should sing him a song. I sang one of our favorites. As I sang, my dad gave a big smile, and clapped (鼓掌).

I will always remember that smile. I was so pleased to know that Dad had heard me sing one more song.

My dad died on May 14, 2000. It was hard to believe: he was so full of life. I don’t know how to say how much I miss him.

Now I have all the memories of him and his beautiful smile deep inside my heart. I will always know that he is listening from his front row seat in heaven.

He used to say: “Sing from your heart.”

My dad has been and will always be my hero.
