Yesterday was Father's Day. Many things happening between my father and me crowded my mind. But one thing made a deep impression on me.
It was a Sunday morning, and I was in a 1 mood (情绪). Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn't invited me.I was in my room2ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “ Want to go for a ride today,Berk? It's a beautiful day.”
“No! Leave me alone!”Those were the 3words I said to him that morning.
My friends called and 4 me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be5with them and then went with them.When I came home，I found a6 on the table.My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “ Dad has had an 7 Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”

My mother may have said more，but I didn't hear. I didn't hear anything 9 those terrible words： Leave me alone. My dad said them in order to10 himself. He didn't want to be hurt more. How much had I hurt him 11 I shouted out those words at him earlier in the day?

“No,” I said, “I mean about13 I said to you that day.You know, that morning?"
He looked at me and said, “Sweetheart, I remember14 about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember telling you goodnight the night before，though." He managed a weak smile.
My English teacher once told me that words have great power. They can hurt or they can heal(治愈）.And we all have the power to 15 our words.I am going to do that very carefully from now on.
