Question

It was midday when I got the call that my grandfather was not well and he was quickly getting worse. My family did not know how long he would       in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he       to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him.

   I got to the hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state(半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”

Still feeling shy, I       not to leave his bedside without letting him know. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “I’ll be fine, Henry.” although we both knew that wasn’t      . Then he asked me with a smile       I was doing.

Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much       . I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage(勇气) I had, I hold his hand tightly. I

   out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love you. I hope you already know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became       .

Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love for       . If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. That’s all I want of you.”

What I learned that day       my whole life.

From then on, I began telling people how much I love them, care for them, and respect them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysitter, my barber, to       my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything I’m thankful to in my life.
