One evening I heard a loud crash in our quiet neighborhood．
26 that evening, my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks．It was a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her
27 , so I sent her to the store in my truck．At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my
28 ．I enjoyed having it, but I said: "Guy, my heart is not set on that truck．I like it but it is
29 metal and won' t last forever．" After hearing the loud noise, the whole
30 ran outside．My son shouted: "Dad, Dad, Holly crashed your truck．"
My heart sank and my mind was
31 with conflicting thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was involved? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my
32 saying: "Here is a chance to show Holly what you really
33 ．She' 11 never forget it．"
The accident had occurred in my own driveway．Holly had crashed my truck into our other car. Holly was not
34 physically but when I reached her, she was crying and saying: " Oh, Dad, I’m sorry．I know how much you love this truck．" I held her in my arms as she cried．
Later that week a friend
35 by and asked what had happened to my truck．I told her the whole
36 ．Her eyes moistened(润湿) and she said: "That happened to me when I was a girl．I
37 my dad' s car and ran into a log that had fallen
38 the road．I ruined the car．When I got home my Dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me．
Over 40 years later, she still felt the
39 of the night．It was a deep wound on her
40 .
I remember how
41 Holly was on the night she crashed our truck, and how I
42 her．One day, when Holly thinks
43 in the future, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than anything else．
I repaired the car, but the dent(凹陷)in my truck is
44 there today．Every day it reminds me of what really
45 in my life．
