I was         to do it. At age five , this dull task brought me such        . I would excitedly turn the tap         and brush the comb carefully. Satisfied that I’d done a good job, I would happily return the comb to Dad. He would       affectionately at me and place the comb on his wallet.

Mum and I became          with him for placing our family in trouble. With           , an uncomfortable silence grew between us.

After my graduation, Dad’s business was getting back on track. On my 28th birthday, Dad came home          .  As usually I helped him carry his bags into his study.

It hit me then: why, as a child,       Dad clean his comb was such a pleasure. That routine(习惯) meant Dad was home early to         the evening with Mum and me. It         a happy and loving family.

I passed the clean comb back to Dad. He smiled at me and      placed his comb on his wallet. But this time , I noticed something           . Dad had aged. He had wrinkles next to his eyes when he smiled,         his smile was still as         as before, the smile of a father who just wanted a good         for his family.
