Yesterday is Father’s Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.

It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a _________ mood(情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room _________ ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It’s a beautiful day.” “No1 Leave me alone!” Those were the _________ words I said to him that morning.

My friends called and _________ me to go to mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be _________ with them and then went with them. When I came home, I found a _________ on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an _________, Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me a car hit my father and his injuries were extensive(大面积的). “Your father told the driver to leave _________ alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved daddy...”

My mother may have said more, but I didn’t hear. I didn’t hear anything _________ those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to __________ himself. He didn’t want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him __________ I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day? It was several days later that he was __________ able to have a talk. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him.

“Daddy... I am so sorry...”

“It’s okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”

“No,” I said, “I mean about __________ I said to you that day. You know, that morning?”

He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember __________ about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before, though.” He managed a weak smile.

My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈). And we all have the power to __________ our words. I am going to do that very carefully from now on.
