Question

Last Christmas while staying with my parents, I 36 across some old love letters that my parents wrote to

each other. these letters were all piled up in a basket, dirty and 37 with dust. 38 to read and sort them, I asked

them if I could take the letters back to my Illinois home. They agreed.

   As I carefully opened each letter, all of them 39 with age, I discovered a new page 40 unknown to me in

this private chapter of my parents’ lives.

   My father used to   41 in the army. So his letters were full of frontline(前线) 42 of the things about the war.

Each of my mother’s letters was marked with her 1944 dark red lipstick(口红) kiss. I was  43 to these letters

like a magnet(磁铁).

   Just six weeks after our Christmas visit, Daddy became very 44 and was hospitalized(住院). This time, he

was fighting a 45 kind of war. As I sat by his bedside, we discussed the  46 . He told me how much receiving

those lipstick-kissed letters had 47 to him when he had been so far from home.

   It so happened that the next day would be February 14. From the  48 letters I chose the card my father had

sent mother in 1944 and brought it to my father’s bedside.

   At his bedside, I joked with him, saying  49  .“Today is Valentine’s Day, don’t you want to sent Mother a

present?” He became more 50 when I handed him the old 51 . He carefully opened it and took out the card,

and when he 52 it, his eyes were filled with tears.

   My father, in a voice tight with 53 read the loving 54 he’d sent to my mother fifty-six years earlier. And

this time, he could read it to her  55  .
