  One day,I walked with my Grandpa along a small river. I suddenly asked him what the hardest thing he 1        was. I expected to hear a story of physical hardship during hard 2       ,but Grandpa told me a much harder experience.

  "Grandma was sick after your aunt Mary was born. Since there was no one to 3        your mum and uncles,I had to 4        them to an orphanage (孤儿院) because I had to hold more jobs until your grandma got better. The most difficult decision I ever had 5        was to put my babies there. Every week I went to see them,the workers there didn't 6        me to talk to them. They thought that was better for the children. I could only 7        my children play from behind a one?way mirror. I brought them candies,but I could only hope they knew the candies were from me. Every time I was permitted to see them,I would keep both 8        on the glass for thirty minutes,hoping they would see me and come to touch my hands but they 9        did. I'll never forgive myself for not holding them."

  I had never seen my grandfather cry 10       . He held me close when he recalled (回忆) the past. For fifteen years,that special 11        with Grandpa remained our secret.

  After my grandmother died,my grandfather began to suffer from the loss of his wife. I tried to 12        my mother to let Grandpa come and live with us,but she said, "Why? He never cared about 13        happened to us!”

  "He has always cared for you. He was really 14        for not being able to hold you that year!" I said. Tears started to 15        in her eyes. Not long after that,my Grandpa came to live with us.
