Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father!

Lydia M. Child

When I was a little girl, my father had a time-honored tradition. Following my bedtime story, he would give me a nose  36  , and whisper the most wonderful words into my ear. “Michelle, of all the little girls in the whole wide world . . .” he would pause.

“ Yes, Daddy?”

“ How did your mommy and I get so  37  to get the best one?”

 38  he had time to finish, I would say, “You got me!” And then he would continue , “The best little girl in the whole wide world, and we got you.” He would end with a bear hug and  39  kiss to my forehead.

Years passed and my father never missed a night, even when I thought he should have. After my basketball team was  40  , he came into my room.

“ Michelle, of all the basketball players in the whole wide world,” he paused.

“ Yes, Daddy?” I stared at the floor.

“ How did your mom and I get so lucky to get the best one?”

“ You didn’t.”

“ Of course we did, Michelle. We have you.”

After I  41  from college, I became engaged. My father never missed a night to call or leave a message  42  me how special I was to him. I even wondered if he would continue calling after I got  43  , but he didn’t. The daily calls I had taken for granted all my life ended the day he died from cancer, only weeks before my wedding. I deeply missed  44  the days with my father.

Standing behind the white church doors, I waited for the wedding march to begin. Before we walking down the aisle, my brother  45  inside his pocket and handed me an ivory napkin. Inscribed (题写) were the words:

Of all the precious  46  in the whole wide world, how did Mark get so lucky to marry the best one? He married you, Michelle, and he is so lucky! I am so proud of you, my little girl.

Love,

Dad

Without doubt , it was the best wedding gift I  47 , One I would never forget. My father showered me with his gifts every day of his life. How did I get so lucky?
