In my memory, my father was always cold to me. When I was young, I had to take the bus home. Though the bus stop was two miles away from home, he never ____1____ me there. So I often went home on my own, even in bad weather. If I complained (抱怨), he always said in a ____2____ voice, “That’s what your legs are for!”
In fact, I was afraid to walk ____3____ in the dark because it was dangerous. And I thought my father never worried about my ____4____. But that feeling changed on a spring evening.
That evening, when the bus arrived at the stop, I ____5____ the bus to walk home. There was a row of bush (矮树丛) along the way. Suddenly, I saw something ____6____ moving along the top of the bush towards my house. When I came closer, I realized it was my father’s ____7____. Then I knew, each time I came home, he would stand behind the bush, ____8____, until he knew I arrived safely. At that time, I knew he ____9____ for me secretly.
Later, that spot (地点) of grey was my watch tower. I never told my father I knew his ____10____. But I never complained about his coldness again. Love is always there, whether we see it or not.
