There was a time when I
thought my dad didn't know a thing about being a good father. I couldn't 1 him ever say. lng the words "I
love you". It seemed to me his only purpose in life was to say" 2 "to anywhere I wanted to go and
any thing I wanted to do, including getting a 3 Some parents ght their kids cars when
they got their driver's licenses._4_my
dad--he said that I'd have to get a job and buy ay own.
So
that's what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and 5_ every penny I could. And when I had enough
to buy my car, I 6 ! The day I brought that car home, my
dad was the first one I wanted to
show it 7_ to. "Look, dad, a car of
my own. If you ever want a ride, I'll only
8 you five dollars." I offered with a
smile.
"I see," was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father's truck So he needed a 9 to work. The sun wasn't even up
when we left the
house, 10 it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a 11 day. As I dropped my dad
off, I 12 him, dressed in his work
clothes, getting his 13 from the trunk (尾箱) of my
car. Watching his sun-
weathered face, and even
from a distance I could tell there were
14 lines than 1 ever remembered being there
before. I real ized how hard my dad works for his family. My father is a cement
filnisher (水泥修整工).
In
that instant, it 15 to me that he actually got
down on his hands and knees to
sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this 16 , no matter how hot it got. Never, not once, had I
heard him 17 about it. To him we were
"worth" it. And never once did he "charge" us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to 18 me five dollars. I rolled down the window
and said "Coo&bye, dad.
Keep your five 'dollars.
It's 19 me. Don't work too hard. I love
you."
His eyes met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he cleared his 20 and said, "Oh, and...
me, too."
