A Faithful Father

My husband kissed me goodbye, stroked the baby’s cheek and then rushed out of the door, into his busy day. With the cold of the morning fading, I fed my baby and it fell fast asleep. Usually I would place it in bed and quickly have the house somewhat in 31 .

This morning, however, I stayed seated, just 32 , with the baby in my arms. The thoughts ran into 33 of the mornings with my husband, a father rushing out of the door to meet the obligations of life. It was only a small jump to thoughts of my own 34 .

My mother passed away when I was ten, and as I looked 35 , I could see how much of a family man my dad was. He went to work every morning and 36 to his family every evening. He 37 food, clothing, warmth, and protection. He was a faithful father.

Setting the baby down, I dialed the 38 number. I had just realized the 39 of the ordinary — the daily life going on around us that we often took for granted, and that it needed to be 40 .

“What for?”

“For getting up and going to work every morning of my life. Now that I have my own

44 and I see my husband doing the same, I just wanted to thank you for being 45 .”

There was 46 for a moment as my dad composed himself, and with a small 47 in his voice he said, “You’re welcome, Bud.”

I don’t remember much of the rest of the call, 48 that moment of revelation (显露) about my father, I will never forget. There are those who are known for their heroic 49 , and also those who are known for their fortunes and fame, but it is the 50 everyday fathers who are the true heroes. I’m thankful that my father was one of them.

Frank Smithson woke up and leaned over to turn off the alarm clock. “Oh，no!” he thought to himself. “Another day at that office; a

As Frank went downstairs his eyes fell on a large brown envelope by the door. He was overjoyed when he opened it and read the letter inside. “Bigwoods Football Pools (赌博公司) would like to congratulate you. You have won half a million pounds.”

Frank suddenly came to life. The cigarette fell from his lips as he let out a shout that could be heard halfway down the street.

At 11:30 Frank arrived at work. “Please explain why you’re so late,” his boss said. “Go and jump in the lake,” replied Frank. “I’ve just come into a little money so this is goodbye. Find yourself someone else to shout at.”

That evening Frank was smoking a very expensive Havana cigar when a knock was heard on the door. He rushed to the door. Outside were two men, neatly dressed in grey suits. “Mr. Smithson,” one of them said, “We’re from Bigwoods Football Pools. I’m afraid there’s been a terrible mistake…”

Don’t invite crime — take basic, sensible precautions. Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected. When you buy a lock, you buy time. The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery.

First of all, fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door. Secondly, use them!

If you have any ladders or tools, don’t leave them lying about in the garden, lock them away.

“Safe” or “secret” places for keys and valuables are not reliable — nine times out of ten, they are the first place a thief will look.

When you move house…

When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks, change
