I can remember the day when my father told me the news in a restaurant. Now almost two years has passed since that day. Looking back, I thought it almost seems like a ________ from a movie. My dad had just told me that he was going overseas to ________ our country in Iraq. I didn’t shout or cry, but a river of tears did fall from my eyes. The only thing I could ________ on my way home was, “Why my dad?”, “Why now?”
Shortly after he ________, I began my junior year in high school. In the beginning, we wrote letters and emails to________ all the time. Though we had an eight-hour zone difference, we were able to ________ fairly well. Every morning before ________, I would run to my computer to check my email and couldn’t wait to see ________ there was a message in my inbox or not. His emails were always a great way to start the ________ because he would always have a funny story or joke to tell me. We were never really ________ before he left, because at that time all he wanted to ________ was what was going on in my life, but I just didn’t want to ________ and let him into my world.
Eventually(终于), it was time for my dad to return home from the battlefield. Almost a year had passed and I was so ________ to see him and get one of his big bear hugs.
Today as I’m about to have a new adventure(冒险)at college, I fell closer to my dad than ever.________ my dad and I have a(n)________ way to go in building our father-daughter relationship, I hope that it will continue to develop in the years to come.
