Thanks, Daddy

谢谢你，爸爸

Many Tuesday mornings, I have coffee with my father.很多星期二早上，我和我父亲一起喝咖啡。

Although my father is a man of few words, I really enjoy the time alone with him.虽然我父亲是个寡言少语的人，但我真的很享受与他独处的时光。

One recent Tuesday, I found it a bit unusual when I rang the doorbell, no one seemed to be home.最近的一个星期二，我按门铃时发现有点不寻常，好像没人在家。

I climbed in through the window, noticing the lights that shone from the kitchen, and thought that my dad must be there, but he wasn't.我从窗户爬进去，注意到厨房的灯光，我想我爸爸一定在那儿，但他不在。

I hurried through his home, checking every room. I tried not to panic. Yet, upstairs, downstairs, no Dad anywhere.我匆匆穿过他的家，检查了每个房间。我尽量不惊慌。可是，楼上楼下，哪儿都没有爸爸。

I was worried. After all, my father was seventy  years old. Anything could have happened to him.我很担心。毕竟，我父亲已经七十岁了。他可能出了什么事。

Then, I got in my car and drove to my mother's aerobics class. On the drive, I thought a lot about my father and our past together.然后，我上了车，开车去我妈妈的健美操班。在路上，我想了很多关于我父亲和我们一起的过去。

When I was three years old, he would hold me up to the living room window to see the Christmas lights. In his holding, I was safe and secure.当我三岁的时候，他会把我举到客厅的窗户前看圣诞灯。在他手里，我是安全的。

At age ten, he used to wake me up with warm breakfast in bed.十岁时，他常常在床上用热早餐把我叫醒。

Then I was twelve and my dad was amazing all the kids at my birthday party with his magic tricks.那时我十二岁，我爸爸在我的生日派对上用他的魔术让所有的孩子都很惊讶。

I was so proud of my father for being so special and talented. He'd made my party a success.我为我父亲如此特别和有才华而感到骄傲。他使我的聚会成功了。

As I entered my mother's class. I was nervous. My mom looked at me in surprise.当我进入我母亲的班级。我很紧张。我妈妈惊讶地看着我。

"Mom, where's Dad?" I asked.

"He's working in the yard on the side of the house!" she answered.“妈妈，爸爸呢？”我问。

“他在房子旁边的院子里干活！”她回答。

And I hurried to my car and raced back to the yard.

"Hey, Dad!" I yelled out and told him about my fears of the last half hour.

My dad began laughing his typical laugh that was always familiar.我急忙跑到我的车上，跑回院子里。

“嘿，爸爸！”我大声喊道，告诉他我对过去半小时的恐惧。

我爸爸开始笑他那一贯熟悉的典型的笑。

I was so thankful that I still had my daddy. And so, as I unlocked the door to my father's house, we went inside for our usual cup of coffee.我很感激我还有爸爸。所以，当我打开我父亲家的门时，我们进去喝了一杯平常喝的咖啡。

Thanks, Daddy, for all the memories and more importantly, for all your love.爸爸，谢谢你所有的回忆，更重要的是，谢谢你所有的爱。

①短文

㈠读心 | 躲在口袋里永远不能突破

作者：吴镇宇

人常常在失败里找借口，但躲在借口里永远不能突破。

作者：余华

为什么有人总是赞美生活的丰富多彩？我想这是因为他们善于品尝生活中随时出现的意外。

㈣读世相 | 教会孩子体面地“输”

作者：清清茶

教会孩子坦然地接受输，和教他去赢，一样有意义。

北京大学戴锦华教授说：人生的第一课，也是毕生之课，是学会输得起。很多时候，我们责备孩子输不起，而事实却是，每一个输不起的孩子背后，都站着一个输不起的家长。

家长要引导孩子，接受挫折教育，

人生无坦途，挫折、失败在所难免，挫折教育，能使孩子增强失败、挫折的承受力，从而不被人生路上遇到的各种不如意（挫折），所击倒，这是每个人生中至关重要的教育。
