Knowing the death could have been 25 if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Al's emotional health became worse under the huge burden of his guilt. To make matters __26 , his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two 27 were more than Al could handle, and he 28 to alcohol.In time Al __29 an alcoholic.
As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he 30 — his home, his land, his art works everything. 31 Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Al's death, I thought that Al's life was a complete 32 . I thought. "What a totally wasted life".
As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier judgment.I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie.He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have 33 known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free 34 of love between them.I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father.One day I worked 35 my courage to ask him."I'm really 36 by something," I said."I know your father was 37 the only one to raise you.What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?"
Ernie sat quietly and 38 for a few moments. Then he said, "From my earliest __39 as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ' I love you, son.' "
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to 40 Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind.But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
