It took me almost 20 years to have the 36 to even ask my father this very personal question. When Dad first 37 drinking, the whole family was on pins and needles every time he got into a 38 that, in the past, would have started him 39 again. For a few years we were 40 to bring it up for fear that the drinking would begin again. I had this little poem that I would recite to myself at least four to five times a day, was Dads 41 to my 18-year-old unasked question. The words were a constant 42 to me that things were 43 so hard that I could not deal with them, Dad said. Then he 44 the poem with me. The poems 45 , yet profound (深刻的) words immediately became 46 of my daily routine as well. About a month after this 47 with my father, I received a gift in the mail from a friend of mine. It was a book of daily sayings of wisdom with one 48 for each day of the year. It has been my 49 that when you get something with days of the year on it, you naturally turn to the page that lists your own 50 . I 51 opened the book to November 10 to see 52 words of wisdom this book had in store for me. I was 53 when I looked at the page, and then tears of disbelief and appreciation 54 down my face. There, on my birthday, was the exact same poem that had 55 my father for all these years!
