Since I was a child, I called my father my Kong, after King Kong. I believed that he was just as strong as the giant ape(猿猴). As he faced death, I did my best to help release him to the next life.
Two months after he passed away, my sister called to ask if I would like to go see Lisa Williams, a well-known witch（巫婆）. I was familiar with Lisa from her show on Lifetime, and since I was eager to get a sign from my father, I agreed to go.
I took my father’s gold watch and listened as Lisa helped audience members communicate with their loved ones. “I have a grandfather-like figure with me and he is speaking about his granddaughter Jilly,” she announced. The audience was quiet; no one raised a hand. I nudged（用肘轻推） my sister and whispered to her that this was Dad ,for my third child and my father had a deep bond(关系，纽带) and he called her Jilly.
Although I sensed his presence, I wasn’t confident enough to raise my hand. I needed something a bit more concrete, something undoubted.
“This man is letting me know he had cancer,” she continued. I nudged my sister harder and assured her this was our father. Lisa went on to say that this person died in June (my father had died June 8th). There was swelling of the legs.
“Important information,” she called out. My heart beat fast . I jumped up when she asked, “Who is holding his watch?” I waved the watch in the air.
“He wishes you congratulations.” My fourth child was born three weeks after my father died. I was in shock and could not believe I was getting a chance to hear from him, yet I knew our bond was strong enough that he could come to the world. She banged on her chest like an ape and apologized, saying, “I don’t know why but he wants me to do this like Tarzan.” It didn’t resonate（共鸣） with me until my sister called out “King Kong!” I was convinced. No way could this woman have ever known a detail unless Dad was communicating through her.
Each bit of information she gave us was just as meaningful. She ended our session by informing us that he would send us coins. The very next day I found six coins in various places; they seemed to have come out of nowhere. Even in death he is my Kong, and he remains important in my life.

When it comes to friends, people always know this old saying——A friend in need is a friend indeed. The best friend a man has in the world may him and become his enemy. His son or daughter that he has with loving care may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust with our happiness and our good reputation, may our faith. A man may the money he has. It flies away from him, perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are ready to fall on their knees to do us when success is with us may be the first to throw the stone of hatred when settles its cloud upon our heads. The one unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never him, the one that never proves or distrusted, is his dog.
A man’s dog stands by him in richness and in , in health and in sickness. He will sleep on the cold ground, where the cold wind blow and the snow drives fiercely, if only he may be near his side. He will kiss the hand that has no food to ; he will lick the wounds and sores that come from encounter with the roughness of the world. He will guard the sleep of his master he were a prince. When all other friends desert, he . When wealth and reputation fall to pieces, he is as constant in his love as the sun in its journeys through the heavens.
If fortune drives the master forth, a deserted person in the world, friendless and homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of him, to guard him against danger, to fight against his . And when the last of all comes, and death takes the master in its embrace, and his body is in the cold ground, no matter if all other friends their ways, there by the grave will the dog be found, his head between his paws, his eyes sad but open in alert watchfulness, faithful and true even in death.
