7．I never saw my father home from work late or ill，nor did I ever see my father take a"night out with the boys"．He had no hobbies but just took care of his family．
For 22years，after I left home for college，my father called me every Sunday at 9：00am．He was always interested in my life-how my family was doing．The calls even came when
he and my mother were in Australia，England or Florida．
Nine years ago when I bought a new house，my father，67years old，spent eight hours a day for three days，painting it．He didn't want me to pay someone to have it done．All he asked，was a glass of iced tea，and that I hold a paintbrush for him and talk to him．But I was too busy，for I had a law practice to run，and I could not take the time to hold the paintbrush，or talk to my father．
Five years ago，my 71-year-old father spent five hours putting together a swing set （秋千）
for my daughter．Again，all he asked was that I get him a glass of iced tea，and talk to him．But again，I had to do the washing and cleaning．
The morning on Sunday，January 16，1995，my father telephoned me as usual，this time he had seemed to have forgotten some things we had discussed the week before．I had to get to church，and I cut the conversation short．
The call came at 4：40am．That day my father was sent to hospital in Florida．I got on a plane immediately，and I vowed （发誓） that when I arrived，I would make up for the lost time，and have a nice long talk with him and really get to know him．
I arrived in Florida at 1：00am，but my father had passed away at 9：12pm．This time it was he who did not have time to talk，or time to wait for me．
In the years after his death I have learnt much about my father，and even more about every single day．
