Question

My husband kissed the baby's cheek, said goodbye to me and then rushed out of the door, into his busy day. With the cold of the morning fading, I fed my baby and it fell fast asleep. Usually I would place it in bed and quickly have the house somewhat in                 .

This morning, however, I stayed seated, just, with the baby in my arms. The thoughts ran into memories of the                             with my husband, a father rushing out of the door to meet the obligations ﹙责任﹚of life. It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own                             .

My mother passed away when I was ten, and as I looked , I could see how much of a family man my dad was. He went to work every morning and returned to his family every evening. He provided food, clothing, warmth, and                             . He was a faithful father.

Setting the baby down, I dialed the     number. I had just realized the of the ordinary﹙普通的﹚daily life going on around us that we often took for granted(理所当然), and that it needed to be recognized（重新认识）.

“Hi, Dad.”I said, back tears.

“Hey, Bud. How are you?”, was in his voice.

“Fine, I'm just calling to say... thank you.”I got it out before my throat ﹙喉咙﹚ too much for me to speak.

"What for?"

“For getting up and going to work every morning of my life. Now that I have my own child  and I see my husband doing the same, I just wanted to thank you for being                             ”

There was for a moment as my dad calmed himself down, and with a small tremble ﹙颤抖﹚in his voice he said, "You're welcome, Bud.”

I don't remember much of the rest of the call, that moment of revelation(显露)about my father, I will never forget. Since then, I have realized that those                            everyday fathers are the true heroes in life. I'm thankful that my father was one of them.
