A few months earlier I had been painting two portraits for each of my parents．I'd planned to give them the portraits as Christmas gifts．This would be a  36   for everyone，as I had not studied 37 ．

While painting one day, I was surprised by a knock on the door. Quickly having put all my 38materials out of sight, I opened the 39. To my astonishment, my father came in .

Immediately I wanted to show him the paintings, but I was 40 to destroy his Christmas surprise. Yet something 41 me to share the gifts with him. After making him promise to keep it secret, I 42 he keep his eyes closed until I had the portraits set on easels(画架). “Okay, Daddy. Now you can 43 !”

He appeared dazed at first. Finally , he said, “I don’t believe it. The eyes are so44that they follow you everywhere—and look how 45 your mother is. Will you let me have them 46?”

Excited with his response, I happily volunteered to 47  them to the frame shop the next day. Several weeks passed. Then one night the 48 rang—my father had a stroke(中风). He died the next day, and it seemed all 49  escaped from the life of my mother and me .

I finally remembered to50 about the framed portraits. I was surprised when the shopkeeper told me my father had visited the shop, 51for the framing and had them gift-wrapped.

52we had lost our loved people, everyone gathered on Christmas Day making an effort to be 53. As I looked into my mother’s sad eyes and unsmiling face, I decided to give her Daddy’s and my 54. After she saw it, with a wide smile, she quickly said, “I knew Daddy would be with us on Christmas Day!”

I glanced at the gift card written in my father’s 55. “ Mother—Our daughter reminded me why I am so blessed. I’ll be always looking at you.—Daddy.”
