One Sunday afternoon, Marion sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and said happily, “Happy birthday, Daddy. You’re 40 years old today, 41 I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for 42 !” When the boy started making good on his words, the father shouted: “ Michael, don’t do it now,I can’t come up with any ways to solve my problems . I’m too busy!”
The boy soon fell silent as tears 43 from his big blue eyes slowly. Feeling 44 , the father said, “You can finish later. Daddy is busy with business now. ” He hugged the boy hurriedly as well.
The boy said nothing but quietly walked 45 . That evening the father said: “Michael, Come and 46 your work now!” But the boy didn’t.
Unluckily, a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had a terrible 47 and died. His sad father wrote, “If only I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and 48 my heart is hurting.”
Do remember: Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a “No” and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose 49 true meaning. 50 is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.
