    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．
