Yesterday was Father's Day. Something that
happened between my father and I is still on my mind. It was a Sunday morning, and
I was in a terrible mood(情绪). 1friends of mine had gone to the movies
the night before and neither had invited me. I was in my room 2how to make them sorry when my father
came in. "Want to go for a ride today, Beck? It's a beautiful day. "
"No! Leave me alone!" Those were the
3 words I said to him that
morning.
A few hours later, my
friends called me to go to the mall with them. I forgot to be4 with them and went with them. When I came
home, I found a(n) 5 from my mother that said," Dad has had an
accident. Please meet us at the Park Hospital. "
When I reached the hospital, my mother told
me a car hit my father and he was seriously wounded. "Your father told the
driver to leave6 alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had
moved Daddy."
My mother may have said more, but I didn't
hear anything 7 those terrible words: Leave me alone. How much
had I hurt him when I shouted at him earlier that day?
It was several days later that he was 8 able to 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 9 I said to you that day. You know, that
morning. "
He looked at me and said with a weak
smile," Sweetheart, I remember nothing about that day. "
My English teacher once told me that words
have great power. They can hurt or they can heal (治愈). And we all have the power to10 what to say. I am going to do that very
carefully from now on.
