Thanks，Daddy

Many Tuesday mornings，I have coffee with my father .

很多星期二早上，我和爸爸一起喝咖啡。

Although my father is a man of few words, I really enjoy the time alone with him.

虽然我的父亲是一个沉默寡言的人，我真的很享受和他在一起的时光。

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，当我按门铃的时候，我发现有点不寻常，好像没有人在家。

I climbed in through the window, noticing the lights that shone（发光） from the kitchen, and thought that my dad must be there, but he wasn't.

我从窗户爬进去，注意到厨房里的灯光，我想爸爸肯定在那儿，但他却不在。

I hurried through his home, checking every room. I tried not to panic. Yet, upstairs, downstairs, no Dad anywhere.

我匆匆走遍家里，检查每一个房间。我尽量不惊慌。然而，楼上楼下，爸爸都不在。

I was worried. After all, my father was seventy years old. Anything could have happened to him.

我很担心。毕竟我的父亲七十­岁了。什么事都可能发生在他身上。

Then, I got in my car and drove to my mother's aerobics（健美操） class. On the drive, I thought a lot about my father and our past together.

然后，我坐上车，开车去妈妈的健美操教室。在开车的路上，我回想了很多父亲的事和我们在一起的时光。

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.

在我三岁时，他把我抱到客厅的窗户前，看看圣诞灯。在他的怀里，我很安全和安心。

At age ten, he used to wake me up with warm breakfast in bed.

十岁时，他常常用温暖的早餐叫醒床上的我。

Then I was twelve and my dad was amazing all the kids at my birthday party with his magic tricks.

十二岁时，爸爸在我的生日聚会上用他的魔术让所有的孩子都感到惊奇。

I was so proud of my father for being so special and talented. He'd made my party a success.

我为我父亲的特别和才华而骄傲。他让我的生日聚会很成功。

As I entered my mother's class. I was nervous. My Mom looked at me in surprise.

当我进入妈妈所在的教室时，我很紧张。妈妈惊讶地看着我。

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

“妈妈，爸爸在哪里？” 我问。

"He's working in the yard on the side of the house!" she answered.

”他在房子旁的院子里忙呢。” 她回答。

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

我跑向我的车，开车回了院子。

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

“嗨，爸爸！” 我大叫着告诉他过去半个小时我的恐惧。

My dad began laughing his typical laugh that was always familiar.

我的父亲露出了惯常的笑容，这笑容很熟悉。

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.

我很感激我的爸爸还在。于是，我打开父亲家的门，我们走进屋里，喝着平时喝的咖啡。

Thanks, Daddy, for all the memories and more importantly, for all your love.

谢谢你，爸爸，谢谢你给的所有回忆，更重要的是，谢谢你对我的爱。
