  I owe my father a huge thank you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on.But this year I realized that his contributions to my childhood were much more than that.

  I grew up as Daddy's Little Girl.If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to.He counseled me through everything from math homework as a high school student to career choices as a young adult.He always expected that I do my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to.As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards.He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself.It was something I'd taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self worth.Having fathers that didn't believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.

  As I was growing up, my father also modeled how a woman should be lavished.He lavished my mom with love and respect.As a result, I grew to expect nothing less than that from the men I dated and from the man I would eventually marry.Dad was a living picture of godliness(虔诚), honesty and responsibility.It was only recently that I realized what a deep effect fathers have on their daughter's lives.That is why I want to thank my dad for the godly example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.

  The famous director of a big and expensive movie planned to film a beautiful sunset over the ocean, so that the audience could see his hero and heroine in front of it at the end of the film as they said good-bye to each other forever. He sent his camera crew(摄制组)out one evening to film the sunset for him.

  The next morning he said to the men,“Have you provided me with that sunset?”

  “No, sir,”the men answered.

  The director was angry.“Why not?”he asked.

  There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day to work at Monk's House.The floors in the house were very thin.The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs.Woolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself.On and on she went, talk, talk, talk, asking questions and giving herself the answers.I thought there must have been two or three people up there with her.Later Mr.Woolf explained that Mrs.Woolf always said out loud what she had written during the night.She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out.

  I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk's House-Mr.and Mrs.Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o'clock every morning to make it.When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs.Woolf's room I noticed that there were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.

  Mrs.Woolf's bedroom was outside the house in the garden.I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in rain to go to bed.Her bedroom had been added to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window opened out onto a field.Because the writing-room was small, Mr.Woolf had had a larger one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.

  I can always remember her coming out of her writing-room only for lunch each day:she used to walk down through the garden smoking one of her favourite cigarettes.She was tall and thin and very graceful, with large, deep-set eyes.She wore long skirts in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of the same colour, which suited her well.I pressed her clothes and did any sewing that was necessary.
