I had just gone through life-saving brain surgery（手术）．I came home from the  1  with a bald（秃的）head and felt very sad．I would not let anyone see me  2  having a hat on my head．I didn't even want anyone to  3 me about my life.

      Several days later，I came out of nay upstairs bedroom to go to the  4  across the hall．I didn't have a hat on  5  I didn't think anyone was at home．As I came out of the bathroom, I was  6   to see my little three-year-old grandson standing there．

     He looked at me  7  a huge smile appeared on his face．He pm his  8  around me and gave me a big hug．Then he said "Bubba, you got a haircut! Who   9  it?" 1 said the doctor did．He said the doctor did a good job．Well, that was   10  with him.

     The little boy made me  11  that I was still loved no matter what I looked like．Then I held his little hand and  12  him to take me downstairs．I enjoyed being with the 13   ．If he didn't hate Bubba looked like that，I knew everyone else could  14  it，too．

I stood in the doorway，watching my older brother carefully putting clothes into his bag．I coughed uneasily．When he realized that I was there，Rocky turned toward me  1  a sad smile．

    “I’m  2  tomorrow，”he said．“I know．”My  3  was almost a whisper（低声，耳语）．I was angry at  4  for being so weak，but I wasn’t about to（将要）cry．“My  5  is early so there is enough time to come to the airport，”he said．Seeing the sad look on my face，he quickly added，“I  6   won’t leave without saying goodbye．”

    I tried to say  7  ．but didn’t．It’s always better to  8  if you’re about to cr．

    “You promised you wouldn’t cry，”he said to me，thinking that I was to cry．I remember the day he   9   me how to ride a bike．At first I thought he was always right behind me，holding the seat to keep me from  10  ．I was happy with this，but he knew he  11  hold me up all my life．He told me that one day he would have to leave．His coughing stopped my  12  ．What was left to say?  13  could l say goodbye to the person who taught me everything?

    The next morning I   14  ，looked at my alarm clock，and realized he had left  15  before．We never even said goodbye．

Goodbye，Rocky! Although he may have been many miles away，I knew he heard me，even if it was only an answer in his heart．

When I was ten, my sisters and I were amazed at our neighbor’s Christmas tree. We returned home from their house and decided that we must have one of our own. In our house we never had enough money for a Christmas tree.
In fact, we insisted so much that my father had no choice but to agree. “Yes!” he finally said.“This year we will have a Christmas tree.” Our mouths dropped open at the thought of having our own tree. Then Dad said,“I’ll do it myself.”
We followed him around the house as he gathered up the materials he would need, We all sat close to him, carefully watching everything he did. He passed the thread around the first nail on the corner of a box, then back down to the second nail on the box, and up again to the nail, until right there before our eyes a green Christmas tree began to take shape. He carefully did the same with all of the 50 nails in the box and when he had finished, he said,“Now you can decorate it.”
I don’t remember where the decorations came from, but they were red and small and to us they just looked so beautiful and perfect for our tree. When we finished decorating it, we proudly invited all our friends over to see our Christmas tree. We were so happy, not only because it looked so pretty, but because my father had made it himself. It truly was the most beautiful Christmas tree we had ever seen.
Years later, things got better and Dad was able to buy a proper Christmas tree which we would happily decorate. However, my sisters and I will never forget the night when we got our first Christmas tree.
