Question

In the depth of my memory, many things I did with my father still live．These things come to represent, in fact, what I call  1and love.

    I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool．But he did   2the water．Any kind of   3ride seemed to give him pleasure． 4he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.

    But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did．I liked being  5the water, moving through it,  6it all around me．I was not a strong  7, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my  8．But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and  9those summer days with my father, who  10come by on a break．I needed him to see what I could do．My father would stand there in his suit, the  11person not in swimsuit.

    After swimming, I would go  12his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me  13anything I found in his top desk drawer．Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk  14he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his  15．But my father always  16and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s  17.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get  18an ice cream…

    A poet once said, “We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is  19.” And I think it is not only what we “look at once, in childhood” that determines our memories, but  20, in that childhood, look at us．
