Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真地) thought 21 him as my “Valentine man”.
My first memory of the 22 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was 23 “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to 24 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is 25 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember 26 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world 27 not surpass (超越).
28 I grew older, the gifts gave 29 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my 30 chocolate and always included a 31 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my “thank-you” became 32 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less 33 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would 34 be there. I had 35 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite 36 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a 37 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me to know that I had a father who continued a tradition of 38 with simple acts of understanding of the people in his life.
Those things never 39 , nor does the memory of a man who never 40 being my Valentine man.
