My Forever Valentine我永远的“情人”
Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真的) thought
1 him as my “Valentine man”.
My first recollection of the
2 he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was
3 “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to
4 my birthstone, a ruby (红宝石). There is
5 difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember
6 that ring with pride that all the cards in the world
7 not surpass (超越).
8 I grew older, the gifts gave
9 to heart-shaped boxes filled with my
10__ chocolate and always included a
11 card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my thank-you became
12 of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less
13 , and I took for granted that the Valentine would
14 be there. I had
15 my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite
16 .
His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a
17 of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me over the years to know that I had a father who continued a
18_ of love with simple acts of understanding and an ability to express happiness over the people in his life.
Those things never
19 , nor does the memory of a man who never
20 being my Valentine.
