Good Heart to Lean on
More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed (尴尬的) to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very 21 ,and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for 22 , people would stare. I would inwardly feel unfortable at the unwanted 23 .If he ever noticed or was bothered, he never 24 that he knew.
It was 25 to coordinate (cooperate ) our steps — his hesitant, mine impatient — and because of that, we didn’t 26 much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said,You set the 27 .I will try to follow you.
Our usual walk was to or from the subway, which was 28 he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day and would 29 it to the office even if others could not. A matter of 30 .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or 31 . What he looked for 32 others was a good heart, and if he found one, the 33 was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper 34 by which to judge people, even though I 35 don’t know exactly what a good heart is. 36 I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he 37 I was unwilling to be seen with him during our 38 . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling 39 be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I plain about trifles (something unimportant ), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a good heart.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to 40 my balance, and say, You set the pace. I will try to follow you.
