Yesterday
was Father’s Day. Many things happening between my father and me
crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on
me.
It was a Sunday
morning, and I was in
a ____ mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night
before and hadn't invited me.I was in my
room_____ways to make them
sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful
day.”
“No! Leave me alone!”Those were the ____words I said to
him that morning.
My friends called
and ____ me to go to the mall with them a few
hours later. I forgot to be_____with them and
then went with them.When I came home,I found a ___ on the table.My mother put it where I
would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an ____ . Please meet us at Highland Park
Hospital.”
When I reached
the hospital ,my mother came out and told me a car hit my father
and his injuries were extensive(大曲积的). “Your father
told the driver to leave_____ alone and just call 911, thank God! If he
had moved Daddy,….”
My mother may
have said more,but I didn't hear. I didn't hear
anything ___ those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them in order
to ___ himself. He didn't want to be hurt more.
How much had I hurt him ____ I shouted out those words at him earlier
in the day?
It was several
days later that he was ___ able to have a talk.I held his hand
gently, afraid of hurting him.
“ Daddy...I am so sorry...''
“It's okay, sweetheart. I’ll be okay.”
“No,” I
said, “I mean
about_____ I said to you that day.You know, that
morning?"
He looked at me
and said, “
Sweetheart, I
remember ____ about that day, not before, during or
after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night
before,though." He managed a weak smile.
My English
teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or
