He was 50 years old when I was born. I didn't know why he was home instead of Mom, but I was young and the only one of my friends who had their dad around. I considered myself very lucky.
我出生时他已经50岁了。我不知道他为什么在家而不是妈妈呆在家里,但我还小,而且我是我所有朋友中唯一一个父亲在身边的。我觉得自己非常幸运。
Dad did so many things for me during my grade school years. He convinced the school bus driver to pick me up at my house instead of the usual bus stop that was six blocks away. He always had my lunch ready for me when I came home.
在我小学的岁月里,爸爸为我做了很多事情。他说服校车司机在我家接我,而不是在离家六个街区的常规公交车站。每当我回家,他总是有我的午餐准备好。

My face burned with embarrassment. To my astonishment, the next day all my friends were waiting to see the napkin. From the way they acted, I thought they all wished they had someone who showed them that kind of love. I felt so proud!
我以前经常藏起我的午饭,这样就没有人会看到饭盒或读到餐巾纸,但这种情况没有持续很久。有一天,我的一个朋友看到了餐巾纸,抓起来在午餐室里传阅。我的脸因为羞愧而发热。令我吃惊的是,第二天所有的朋友都在等着看餐巾纸。从他们的反应来看,我认为他们都希望有人能向他们表达那种爱。我感到无比的自豪!
When I left home for college, I thought the messages would stop. But my friends and I were glad that his gestures continued. I began getting letters almost every Friday. The front-desk staff always knew who the letters were from. Many times the envelopes were addressed in crayon,
