My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together.
As I 35 older,
I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I
always fell asleep 36 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the
score sheet (计分表) with the
37
score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll
always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his
bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The 38 and the warmth from the bread made me hungry
and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One
night before an important game my father told me
39 that he
wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it
was a three-hour 40 from
his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I
happened to look across the field and 41 saw his bread truck pulling into the
stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never
forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been
killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I 42 up the phone and went back to my
bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the
playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held
mine the 43
way I used to hold my father’s by the last
two fingers. At that moment I found my 44 in life again. You see even though
my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and
touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started.
I’ll always remember that!
