【题目】Nine years ago ,after Leo had died ,people said to me ,“I never knew he was your stepfather. You see ,I never called him that. At first ,he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was my father too.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first ,our lawn was just a mud pile with wild grass ,but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers he said. And just these little touches made our lawn different from all the others here. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad ,Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware store ,then stepped into the five - and - ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing errands together is nothing special, but Iwho had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do these everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme joy. Looking back, I realize that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. “You know,” she said you look just like your father. I knew she was just making conversation—but even so...“ Thank you,” I said. Why tell her anything different?
