(C)

After my husband died suddenly from a heart attack,my world crashed around me.My six children were all under 10,and I was burdened with the responsibilities of earning a living,and   caring for the children.I was fortunate to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week,but from Friday nights to Monday mornings,the children and t were alone.

One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big pretty German shepherd off our doorstep.This dog seemed to intend to enter the house.The children liked “German” immediately and begged me to let him in.I agreed to let him sleep in the basement.That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks.

The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results.

On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic.Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by,we drove off without him.When we stopped to get gas, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us.No way was he going to be left behind.

Monday morning I let him out for a run.He didn’t come back and we were all disappointed.

We were convinced that we would never see him again.We were wrong.The next Friday evening,

German was back on other doorstep.Again he stayed until Monday morning,when our housekeeper arrived.

This pattern repeated itself every.weekend for almost 10 months.We grew more and more fond of German.We took comfort in his strong,warm presence,and we felt safe with him near us.

As German became part of the family,he considered it his duty to check every bedroom to be sure each child was cozy in bed.

Each week,between German’s visits,I grew a little stronger,a little braver and mole able to cope;every weekend we were no long alone and enjoyed his company.Then one Monday morning we patted him on his head and let him out for what turned out to be the Iast time.We never saw German again.

(B)

My dad also taught me,by example,that a healthy lifestyle is important.He was hardly ever sick.But I don’l think my dad ever even had a cup of coffee.He barely touched alcohol.

He would say,“Boonnie,your voice is a reflection of your overall physical well-being.So if you want to sing well,take better care of yourself.” If I became hoarse(嘶哑)or caught a cold,he didn’t blame me directly:“Well,Bonnie,you know,if you’d get to sleep a little earlier,that would probably be a good idea.”When I decided to get unexcitable about 18 years ago,he told me.“See,

Bonnie,it's so great to see you in such strong voice all the time.”

He just did not complain,even when he was uncomfortable toward the end,from the pneumonia that eventually took his life.He simply made a choice to be positive and not negative.

I am so glad that we had the chance to perform together.I was touched that he tried singing my music,even though the bluesy style didn’t come naturally to him.Then,when I had so much

Grmnmy success with my album Nick of Time in 1990,I realized. Hey,I have one of the greatest singers of all time in my family.I was very nervous about doing the Boston Pops show on TV with my dad.To calm me,he said,“Bonnie,a beautiful song is a beautiful song.Just believe it.”I looked in my dad’s eyes,and there we were singing the Irving Berlia song with the lvric.Of all the duets I've done.that one wiU always be a highlight.
