Question

When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch(接球) with me. I wasn’t very good at it,   16   we would play anyway. He was always telling me “Keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the   17   of throws.

As I got   18  , we didn’t play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his   19  , he would try to   20   with me and say “Keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh   21   usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me   22  .

My father became   23   in 1995 when I was 23. There weren’t any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke(中风).   24   could not speak. He could only give   25   words, which were sometimes hard to understand. I seemed to be pretty good at   26   his lips(唇) after a while, even better than the   27   who were caring for him there.

During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend.   28  , I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.

That was the last time I saw my father   29   he passed away.

Sometimes, all these years later, when I get in trouble, I just   30   myself “Keep your eye on the ball”.
