She was a four-year-old girl with very fine golden hair when I first met her．She was carrying a bowl of 1 ．I was 29 at the time and suffering from the flu．
Her mom and I had been friends for many years．Finally that friendship grew into care，from care into 2 and marriage．Marriage brought the three of us together as a 3 ．At first，I was afraid to be a“stepfather”.Therefore，I tried not to come between my future daughter and her 4 father．I acted in that way in order to be liked．However， 5 she was growing up, I found it increasingly hard to 6 with her．
Once her school required every parent to write an open and 7 letter to the children．I wrote a letter about a little golden-haired girl who had brought me a bowl of soup when I needed 8 ．
A week later，all the parents got together with our children in a classroom．The students were allowed to make a few speeches．I was 9 to hear what my daughter would say．
Finally，my daughter determinedly 10 her way up to the microphone．She said something like others and then 11 ."There are people and things we sometimes take for granted that we shouldn't，at this very moment，I just want to say…I love you，father．”
Immediately people around me started 12 at me，and patting me on the back as though they also understood the depth of that unusual speech．For a teenage girl to say 13 in the front of a room full of people，“I love you”，took a great deal of courage．Since then I have come to understand that I didn't need to have any 14 about being a stepfather．I can still 15 honest love with the same little girl I met so many years before-carrying a bowl full of what turned out to be kindness．I can also be friends with the girl-my dear daughter．

John Blanchard stood up from the bench, straightened his Army uniform, and studied the crowd of people making their way through Grand Central Station. He looked for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didn’t, the girl with the rose.
His interest in her had begun thirteen months before in a Florida library. Taking a book off the shelf he found himself intrigued, not with the words of the book, but with the notes penciled in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightful mind. In the front of the book, he discovered the previous owner’s name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. She lived in New York City. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond. The next day he was shipped overseas for service in World War II.
????????????? During the next year and one month the two grew to know each other through the mail. Each letter was a seed falling on a fertile heart. A romance was starting Blanchard requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn’t matter what she looked like.
When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting —7:00 PM at the Grand Central Station in New York. “You’ll recognize me,” she wrote, “by the red rose I’ll be wearing on my lapel.” So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for a girl whose heart he loved, but whose face he’d never seen.
????????????? I’ll let Mr. Blanchard tell you what happened: A young woman was coming toward me, her figure long and slim. Her blonde hair lay back in curls from her delicate ears; her eyes were blue as flowers. Her lips and chin had a gentle firmness, and in her pale green suit she was like springtime come alive. I stared at her, entirely forgetting to notice that she was not wearing a rose. As I moved, a small, attractive smile curved her lips. “Going my way , sailor?” she murmured.
????????????? Almost uncontrollably I made one step closer to her, and then I saw Hollis Maynell. She was standing almost directly behind the girl. A woman well past 40, she had graying hair tucked under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her thick-ankled feet thrust into low-heeled shoes. The girl in the green suit was walking quickly away. I felt as though I was split in two, so keen was my desire to follow her, and yet so deep was my longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned me and upheld my own.
????????????? And there she stood. Her pale, plump face was gentle and sensible, her gray eyes had a warm and kindly twinkle. I did not hesitate. My fingers gripped the small worn blue leather copy of the book that was to identify me to her.
????????????? This would not be love, but it would be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a friendship for which I had been and must ever be grateful. I squared my shoulders and saluted and held out the book to the woman, even though while I spoke I felt choked by the bitterness of my disappointment. "I'm Lieutenant John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?"
The woman's face broadened into a tolerant smile. "I don't know what this is about, son," she answered, "but the young lady in the green suit who just went by, she begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!"
? ????????????? It's not difficult to understand and admire Miss Maynell's wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive. "Tell me whom you love," Houssaye wrote, "And I will tell you who you are． "
