I am a nurse working in a hospital. It was a 　31 　morning when an elderly gentleman 　32　 　to have his heart condition checked by the doctor. He said he was in a hurry 　33　 　he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I had him take a seat. Since there were a lot of people 　34　 　to see the doctor, I knew it would be over an hour 　35　 　the doctor would be able to see him. I saw him looking at his watch 　36　 　while waiting. To make him not feel so 　37　 　with nothing to do for long hours, I decided to go over and 　38　 　with him for a while. The gentleman told me that he 　39　 　to go to the nursing home to have breakfast with his mom. His mother had been suffering from a disease and had 　40　 　there for several years.

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a bit 　41　 . He replied, “She can’t 　42　 　me now.” I was 　43　 , and asked him, “And you still go every morning, 　44　 　she doesn’t know who you are?” He smiled and said, “She doesn’t know me, but I 　45　 　make out who she is - the woman who gave me not only 　46　 　but a mother’s whole love.” I was moved to tears and felt very 　47　 　on such a winter day. The 　48　 between parents and children is everlasting (永恒的).

Just then, a young man came up and said to the man, “Grandpa, now it’s my 　49　 　to see the doctor. I am not in a hurry, so you can do it first.” The elderly man was very 　50　 　and went in the doctor’s to have his heart examined.
