Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life.Over the years I fondly (天真地) thought__1__him as my “Valentine man”.

My first recollection of the__2__he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six.That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift­wrapped package at my chair.The card was__3__“Love,Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to__4__my birthstone,a ruby (红宝石).There is__5__difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six,and I remember__6__that ring with pride that all the cards in the world__7__not surpass (超越).

__8__I grew older,the gifts gave__9__to heart­shaped boxes filled with my__10__chocolate and always included a__11__card signed “Love,Dad”.In those years my thank­you became__12__of a perfunctory (敷衍) response.The cards seemed less__13__,and I took for granted that the Valentine would__14__be there.I had__15__my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love,Dad” just didn’t seem quite__16__.

His final card remains on my desk today.It’s a__17__of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a__18__of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.

Those things never__19__,nor does the memory of a man who never__20__being my valentine.
