The phone call came one cool winter day. I was ________ that my father was seriously ill.

It had been long since I’d seen my father. Ever since his ________ from my mom, my father had lived alone in a small trailer(房车) in California, 500 miles away from me. The real ________ between us seemed so much greater. I was in no hurry to ________ that, but somehow I heard myself ________ to the owner of the trailer to be there the next day.

The whole drive down, ________ flashed through my mind. I remembered my father, the proud Marine. He made sure the first song I ________ was the Marine Hymn(《美国海军陆战队队歌》). He tore off the Christmas ________ all the decorations the rest of us had ________ and rehung them so there was ________ the same space between them. But we didn’t need to ________ those military orders, as we were not soldiers. I remembered ________ the battles he had with my mother. I remembered hoping to hear my father say ________ once, “I love you, Patty,” only to have him ________ at me, “You can’t do anything right!”

And now here I was standing outside his trailer, trying to ________ my courage to face him one more time. I knocked on the door, my hand and my whole body ________. NO answer. Slowly I opened the door. I took a few ________ inside and stopped, too shocked to believe my eyes.

My father was sitting on his sofa, looking confused and crying. This wasn’t the ________ man I had known growing up. He seemed broken.
