Question

On my way home I knocked into a stranger as he passed by. “Oh. I'm terribly sorry,” I said. “That’s all right. Please excuse me too; I wasn’t even _________ you. I wish I didn’t hurt you.”

We were very _________. We said good-bye and went on our way.

But at home we often _________ our loved ones in a different way.

Later that day, while I was cooking the evening meal, my daughter stood beside me very quietly. When I turned, I nearly _________ her down. “Move out of the way.” I shouted. She walked away, tears in her eyes.

While I lay awake in bed, I realized how _________ I’d spoken. So I decided to get up to say sorry to my daughter. On the way to her bedroom, to my surprise, I found some _________ by the door of the kitchen. At that time my tears began to fall. I quietly went and got down on my knees by her _________. She woke up and put her arms around my neck when I kissed her. Then I asked, “Did you pick these flowers for me?”

She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I picked them _________ they're pretty like you. I knew you’d like them. I stood quietly in order to give you a surprise.” “Oh dear, I'm really sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have shouted at you.” “That’s okay, Mom. I _________ you anyway.” I suddenly realized what a clever way it is to explain the word __________ like this: (F) ather (A) nd (M) other, (I) (L) ove (Y) ou!
