　　My wife and I had just finished the 150-mile trip home from our daughter's college, it was the first time in our lives that she had been 　　1　　 for any length of time．We wondered 　　2　　 other people had survived it．

　　Later in bed, I thought of the time I started college．My father had 　　3　　 me, too．We rode in the farm truck．I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first of the children in my 　　4　　 to go to college．After we were out of sight of the farm, I began to feel 　　5　　．The truck was slow, which comforted me a bit．I didn't want to get to the city too soon．I remembered how my father and I ate the sandwiches my mother had 　　6　　．

　　My daughter's 　　7　　 was different, of course．We stopped at an expensive restaurant and ordered fried chicken．　　8　　 we went to the dormitory, and my wife talked with the housemother．When she came back, she was 　　9　　 her eyes．

　　My father didn't let me stay at the dormitory．A room in a private home was 　　10　　and better if a student wanted to work his way 　　11　　 college．Before leaving, my father brought out the old book Belief that he had 　　12　　 so often．He said,“This can help you, if you will let it．”Did 　　13　　 help? I got through college without being a 　　14　　 to my family．I have had a good 　　15　　 capacity(能力)ever since．

　　When I finished school, my father told me to 　　16　　 it．“Let your first child take that book along,”he said．Now, too late．I could have given it to my daughter when she got out of the car．But I didn't．　　17　　 were different．My father could give me only an old book 　　18　　 I had been able to give my daughter what she needed．

　　Or had I? I don't really 　　19　　 now that I gave her half as much as my father gave me．So the next morning I 　　20　　 the book and sent it to her with a note,“This can help you, if you will let it．”

　　In college I had a part-time job at the shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of oil-fried cake)and coffee．　　1　　 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their 　　2　　．

　　I 　　3　　 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who'd point through the glass case and say,“No, not that one, the one two rows over．”

　　Every afternoon around four o'clock, a group of school children would 　　4　　 into the shop．Adults would glance in, see the crowd and 　　5　　 on．I didn't 　　6　　 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop．

　　I came to know them pretty well．The older girls would tell me about their boyfriends; the younger ones would talk about school．The boys were more quiet, choosing not to 　　7　　 their secrets, but still, they'd wait every day in the store 　　8　　 their bus came．

　　Sometimes I'd 　　9　　 bus fare when a ticket went missing－always repaid the next day．When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very 　　10　　 bus．They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay．At 　　11　　 time I'd lock the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．

　　I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children．I 　　16　　 about them having to take two buses to get home．It 　　17　　 a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them．
