On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by．“Oh．I'm terribly sorry,” I said．“That’s all right．Please excuse me too; I wasn't even 1 you．I wish I didn’t hurt you．”
We were very 2 ．We said good-bye and went on our way．
But at home we often 3 our loved ones in a different way．
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly．When I turned, I nearly 4 her down．“Move out of the way．” I shouted．She walked away, tears(眼泪)in her eyes．
While I lay awake in bed, I realized how 5 I’d spoken．So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter．On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some 6 by the door of the kitchen．At that time my tears began to fall．I quietly went and got down on my knees by her 7 ．She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her．Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”
She smiled, “I found them out by the tree．I picked them 8 they're pretty like you．I knew you’d like them．I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise．” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have shouted at you．”
“That’s okay．Mom．I 9 you anyway．”
I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word 10 like this：(F)ather(A)nd(M)other,(I)(L)ove(Y)ou!
When I knocked into a stranger, “Oh, excuse me, please．” was my 1 ．He said, “Please excuse me, too．” We were very 2 , this stranger and I．But at home a different story is told．
Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me quietly．When I turned, I nearly made her fall onto the floor．“Get out of my way!” I said 3 ．She walked away with tears(眼泪)in her eyes．I didn’t 4 how rudely I’d spoken．Later, I went into the 5 again, and found some flowers there by the door．Those were the flowers she picked for me．I felt really 6 and my tears began to fall．For a stranger, we can be polite, but for the ones we love, we seem to be rude．
If we die tomorrow, the company we are working for could easily take our place soon． 7 the family we left behind will feel the loss(损失)for the rest of their lives．
8 is behind the story? You know what is the full word of 9 ?
FAMILY＝(F)ather(A)nd(M)other(I)(L)ove(Y)ou
Fill life 10 love and courage, and we shall live an uncommon life．
