he met after saving a Blaina stab (刺) victim's life.
Mr. Holpin was enjoying a night out at Blaina Fair when he witnessed a young girl attacked by a man
with a knife. He bravely removed the weapon from the attacker, and saved the girl.
Betina Skovbro was sent to photograph Mr. Holpin for a newspaper covering the story, and they had
a pleasant conversation. Miss Skoybro said, "He mentioned he was a father to 20 children, 11 of whom
he had no contact with, and he showed me the tatto (纹身) on his back of a huge family tree covered with
all his children's names, which I thought was amazing."
Betina was moved by his story and decided to help him, so they began looking for his missing children
and documented the process with photographs.
"It was strange at first being photographed, but I got used to it. We ended up spending a year together,
and Betina became like a member of the family-she even spent Christmas Day with us." With Benita's help,
they searched for the missing children from four previous relationships.
One of the last photographs Belina took was published in National Geographic magazine. It was about
Mr. Holpin cradling (抱) his youngest child, while the baby's name was added to the family tree on his back.
He said, "Each time I met one of my children, I had no idea what to say. I told them that the reason I
have my tattoo is because even though I had no way of getting in contact I was always thinking about them."
Mr Holpin's children were just as shocked as he was to meet with their father-one daughter had even been
told that he was dead. A lot of his kids had been told bad things about him. He said, "I have had my troubles
in the past, but hopefully the story about the stabbing and Miss Skovbro's photographs have helped prove that
I am not a bad guy after all, and I really love all my children."
Now, he is really close to his kids and they're close to him. He expressed that he wouldn't lose touch with
them again.

查看习题详情和答案>>“I’ve changed my mind. I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my dad back.” Lucien Lawrence’s letter to Father Christmas, written after his father had been knifed to death outside his school gate, must have touched everyone’s heart. Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn’t see the stars in the sky. When those we love depart from us, we cannot see the stars for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again. And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father there too, either in your mind or heart. I find that my parents, who died years ago, still linger (留连) in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than I ever did when they were alive. I still live to please them and I’m still surprised by their reactions. I remember that when I became a professor, I was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself that I couldn’t wait to cable my parents. The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all my mother said was “I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!” I haven’t forgotten. The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care. Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence has been to face the aggressors（入侵者）, and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas? It’s a serious thought, which gives me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet “Deliver my soul from the sword and my darling from the power of the dog.” Yet I know death comes to us all, and sometimes comes suddenly. We must therefore plan to live together, but live as if we will die tomorrow. We live on, I’m sure, in the lives of those we loved, and therefore we ought to have a care for what they will remember and what they will treasure. If more parents knew this in their hearts to be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
