In the gathering darkness I drove         . Other drivers seemed unusually          that evening. The            even stopped traffic to let us through. I had thought carrying furniture was a good idea.
After a time my wife said, “ There’s a long line of cars         . Why don’t they overtake(超车), I wonder?” Just at that time a police car did         . The two officers inside looked at us seriously          they passed. But then, with a kind smile they asked us to          their car through the busy traffic. The police car stopped at our village church. One of the            came to me.
“Right, sir,” he said, “Do you need any more help?”
I was a bit         . “Thanks, officer,” I said. “You have been very kind.”
He was staring at our car, first at the flowers, then at the bookshelf. “Well, well,” he said,         . “It’s a bookshelf you’ve got there! We thought it was something else.”
My wife began to laugh. Suddenly I understood          the police drove here. The truth            me. I smiled at the officer, “Yes, it’s a bookshelf,           thanks again.” Then I            home as fast as I could.

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not be        Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought,“What would I say when the other kids asked what I'd        ?” Just when I started to        that there would not be a Christmas that year,three women        at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a doll. I felt such a sense of        that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to school. I wasn't        .Somebody had thought        of me to bring me a gift. Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my        . Christmas there special and memorable, I       _ remembered the woman’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of        for as many children as I could possibly.
So I        a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿)at the Christmas party. For every child,we wrapped colorful packages filled with toys,clothes,and school supplies,       with a child's name. We wanted all of them to know they were        .Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts,I        them that they couldn't open their presents        every child had come forward. Finally the        they had been waiting for came as I called out,“One,two,three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their packages,their faces beamed and their bright smiles       up the room. The        in the room was obvious,and   wasn't just about toys. It was a feeling —the feeling I knew         that Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn't forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

Dear son,

The day that you see me old, have patience and try to understand me. If I get  when eating, if I can not dress, have patience. Remember the hours I spent  it to you. If,   I speak to you, I repeat the same things thousand and one times, do not  me. Listen to me  . When you were small, I had to read thousand and one times the  story until you get to sleep. When I do not want to have a shower, neither shame me  scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I  , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my  on new technologies, give me the necessary time and not  me by mocking smiles. I taught you how to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to  life. . . When at some moment I lose the  in conversation with you, do not become annoyed, as the most important thing is not my  but surely to be with you and to  you listening to me. When my  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your hand, the same way I  when you gave your first steps. And when someday I say I do not want to live any more and that I want to die, do not get angry. Try to understand that my age is not lived but  .
Some day you will discover that,   my mistakes, I always wanted the  thing for you and tried to prepare the way for you. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and  . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, son!
Your father
