A phone call reached me one cold winter day. I was   36   that my father was seriously ill. I had not seen my father since his divorce from my mom, and he had lived alone in a small trailer (拖车式活动房）in California, 500 miles away from me. The real   37    between us seemed much greater. I was in no hurry to change that, but   38   I promised to be there the next day.

One night, I sat there, talking to God, begging him to help me let go of the ugly feelings I had toward my father. When I was finished, I felt an incredible peace, as if every   53   had been lifted from me.   54   had cleaned all that from me and I felt free to start living the joyful life God wanted me to live.

It has been eight years since father died. Now when I think of him, those are the moments I remember, which are, as I put on Dad’s headstone, God’s amazing   55   .
