Good heart to lean on
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed(尴尬的)to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 36 , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 37 ,people would stare. I would feel uncomfortable at the unwanted 38 . If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never 39 that he knew. It was 40 to coordinate(协调)our steps. Because of that, we didn’t 41 much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the 42 . I will try to follow you.”
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was 43 he got to work. He went to work in spite of illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day and would 44 it to the office even if others could not. It was a matter of 45 .He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy for the more fortunate or 46 ones. What he looked for in 47 was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the 48 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 49 by which to judge people, even though
I 50 don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is. 51 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has gone away many years, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 52 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 53 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 54 to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about something unimportant. How I wish I had put my hand on his arm to get my 55 , and say, ”you set the pace, I will try to follow you.”
