When I was a little girl, my father loved to play catch(接球) with me. I wasn’t very good at it,
16 we would play anyway. He was always telling me “Keep your eye on the ball” as I would not be able to catch even the
17 of throws.
As I got
18 , we didn’t play catch as much. If I had a problem and would go to my father to ask for his
19 , he would try to
20 with me and say “Keep your eye on the ball”. We would both laugh
21 usually that advice was not useful to the problem, but he would try to make me
22 .
My father became
23 in 1995 when I was 23. There weren’t any more conversations, as he suffered from a stroke(中风).
24 could not speak. He could only give
25 words, which were sometimes hard to understand. I seemed to be pretty good at
26 his lips(唇) after a while, even better than the
27 who were caring for him there.
During one of our last conversations, I was telling him about a problem I was having with my boyfriend.
28 , I could read his lips: “Keep your eye on the ball.” We both smiled.
That was the last time I saw my father
29 he passed away.
Sometimes, all these years later, when I get in trouble, I just
30 myself “Keep your eye on the ball”.
