I ran into a stranger as he passed by. “ I’m so sorry!” was my reply. Then he said, “ Excuse me too… I wasn’t __16___watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went __17__ our way after saying goodbye.

But at __18__, a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I __19__ the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I __20__ knocked her down.“Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown(皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart __21__. I didn’t realize how rudely I had spoken.

That night, when I lay __22__ in bed, God’s quiet voice spoke to me and said, “ While __23__ with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite… Go look around on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the ___24__. Those are the flowers she brought for you. She __25__ them herself--- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the ___26__ in her eyes.”

By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt(跪) by her__27__. “ Wake up, my dear,” I said. “ Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “ I found them out by the tree, I _28__ them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew you’d like them, especially the __29__.” I said, “ I am so sorry that I missed them today… And I __30__ have fussed( 大惊小怪) at you that way…”

And she whispered, “ Mommy, that’s OK… I still love you ___31___. ” I hugged her and said, “ I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”

Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the__32__ you are working for could easily replace(取代) you in a matter of days. But the family you leave __33__ will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our __34__ than into our families---- an unwise investment(投资) indeed.

Remember that __35__=(F)ATHER+A(ND)+(M)OTHER+(I)+(L)OVE+ (Y)OU.
