    As a young man, Aaron was a skilled artist, a porter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his older son developed a stomachache. Thinking it was some _______ disorder, neither Aaron nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the illness was actually severe and the boy _______ suddenly that night.

The son’s death could have been prevented if he had only _______ the seriousness of the situation! Aaron’s emotional health got _______  under the heavy burden of his guilt (内疚). What's worse, his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Aaron could handle, and he _______ alcohol (酒精) to help him cope. In time Aaron became an alcoholic (酗酒者).

As the alcoholism (酗酒) _______, Aaron began to lose everything he possessed — his home, his land, his art objects, everything. _______, Aaron died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

When I heard of Aaron's death, I reacted like most people who show no respect for one ending his life with nothing material to show for it. ''What a complete failure! '' I thought. ''What a _______ life! ''

As time went by, I began to reevaluate my earlier cold _______. You see, I knew Aaron’s now adult son, Ernie. He has a family and he is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his ________. I saw the free flow of ________ between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.

I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to ________ an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ________ him. ''I'm really ________ by something, '' I said. ''I know your father was basically the only one to ________ you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person? ''

Ernie sat quietly and thought for a few moments. Then he said, ''From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Aaron came into my room every night, gave me a ________ and said, 'love you, son. '''

Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Aaron as a(n) ________. He had not ________ any material possessions to his son. But he had been a kind loving ________. He ________ one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
