I had worked that day, as a nurse. Now I faced the
dirty supper dishes. I wanted to 1 why Jimmy hadn’t phoned
as usual to say “Good night” to Bob and Tom. “Maybe Daddy's
2 working on an accident,” I said to Bob. “Go to
3 now. You'll see him in the morning.” Soon there was a
knock at the door. “There 4 be something wrong
with your phone,” my neighbor told me. “The City Police Station wants you to
5 .”
I went into the living room and dialed. Then I 6 the
words every police wife fears (害怕): “Your husband has
been hurt.” When I reached the hospital, my heart sank (下沉). The entrance was jammed with TV-news trucks. In the
7 I saw Jimmy’s best friend, Smith. “Just tell me
-is he alive ?” I asked.
Smith 8 and didn’t answer. Then I
found my younger sister, Mandy. “He’s 9 .” she told me, and
we began to cry together.
Later, Smith told me 10 had
happened.
In the morning, when my little Bob asked, “Where’s
Daddy?” I 11 him into my arms and tried
to explain. “A bad man 12 Daddy last
night.” I said. “Daddy can’t come home any more. He’s in heaven(天堂) now.”
My son looked at me, his blue eyes 13 the
picture of trust(相信). “Do they have 14
in heaven ?” he asked. “Can I call him ?”
“No, Bob, Daddy still loves you, but Daddy can’t 15 ”.
