My earliest memory of dad is grabbing his hand while we walked together. As I 16 older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 17 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning the score sheet with the 18 score on it would be lying 19 me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck 20 he delivered the bread to the stores. The 21 and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would 22 all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 23 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 24 from his route(路线). The next day as the game time approached I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 25 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to 26 the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I had become a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been 27 in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart 28 in my ears. I 29 the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really 30 to me. I still taught in school 31 I couldn’t focus on my teaching. One day I was on the playground
32 a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two 33 . At that moment I found my 34 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those 35 as he did. From that day On I started. I’ll always remember that!

The art of giving gifts is to give something that others cannot buy for themselves.
------A.A. Milne

It was a soft toy penguin with a hand –painted 38 saying “I love My Dad!” Tears came into my eyes and immediately, I gave it a 39 place on my desk.
Soon I had to leave on another business 40 . This time when I was 41 , I put the penguin in my suitcase. After that day, Jeanine always helped me pack with the penguin. Many years42 by and that little penguin has traveled with me hundreds of thousands of miles all across America and over to Europe. We have also made many friends 43 the way.
44 one afternoon after leaving my hotel, I discovered that the penguin was 45 . Frantically, I phoned the hotel. The clerk 46 , saying it hadn’t been reported. But half an hour later, he called back to say that my penguin had been found. It was late, 47 I drove several hours to get my little 48 , arriving near midnight.
When I rushed to the hotel, I found that it was waiting at the front desk. In the lobby(大厅), some 49 business travelers looked at us, I think, with some 50 and envy(羡慕). Someone came out to shake my hand. One man told me that he had even volunteered to 51 it to me the very next day.
Jeannie is in college now and I don’t travel 52 much anymore. The penguin spends most of its time 53 on my dresser--- a reminder that 54 is the best traveling companion. All those years on the road, it was the one thing I never left home 55 .
