“When I was a boy of 14,my father was so ignorant (无知的) that I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much the old man had learned in 7 years. “—Mark Twain

My 23-year-old daughter and I are the female version of the above quote. When I left her father about 12 years ago she chose to stay with him. Her father was quite angry at our breakup and so was my daughter. She exactly had nothing to do with me for about 5 years, no contact, no presents to me, no overnight stays. It broke my heart.

Now she works near my home. She has often slept on the sofa in my home and I so love this.

Last week I turned my study into a bedroom for her. Today a new bed and mattress(床垫) arrived and I went to Belfast to buy quilts, pillows, cushions, curtains, lampshade etc to make this into the room my daughter should have had in my home 12 years ago. She has really loved being able to input into this room for her and I have really loved creating a little special personal space for her in my home.

In the end, l worked it out but I can tell you I really learned so much by way of practicing patience in those painful early days.

I hope my little daughter who is now a young 23-year-old woman never distances herself from me again, no child should be without a Mother’s love.

3. .

This may seem simple, but it’s probably one of the biggest reasons why roommates experience conflicts. Don’t you think he’ll mind if you borrow his shoes for a quick soccer game? For all you know, you just stepped over the line. Don’t borrow, use, or take anything without getting permission first.

Be open to change.

In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is ______, as few people have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday.

The father looks like he has all the time in the world—he ______ to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with ______ of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying ______ in the sun, laughing and chatting. The man certainly doesn’t look ______. What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day

And today, we ______ sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You must enjoy the park very much to come here so often,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do you ______ to leave your office to be with your daughter every day”
The ______ that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we ______under the surface, even ordinary people’s life can be quite ______.“I used to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers ______ to work every day,” he began. His wife and he were well ______ but rarely managed time off for leisure.

Everything changed after a(n) ______ in which Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts came into his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day” “Would my daughter have ______ of being with her father”

The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, ______ her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.

It was actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it ______ him every day to see the difference it ______ to his life. “It brings me so much ______ that I can’t believe why others haven’t thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.
