Complaining seems to be part of our human nature. Life, 46 , is full of difficulties. It is 47 to feel disappointed, irritated and unhappy at times.

I answered him with a hug.
But inside, 46 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 47 to me, for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived 48 , and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until it was over.
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 49 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 50 through years of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 51 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.
