I can still remember the first day when I met my best friend. She had just moved into the neighborhood （邻里）and her grandmother brought her down to 36 me. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 37 to look at each other. Soon we lost the 38 and started playing with each other.
In the 7th grade, I first lost touch with her. She was 39 family problems and I deserted her to be with the “cooler people”. None of my new friends liked her as much as I did 40 they knew she had 41 . However, every summer we 42 always sit at each other’s house and watch soap operas （肥皂剧）and talk about all the boys we liked.
It was last year when I noticed the problem. I guessed I was 43 devoted in high school to __44 she needed someone there for her. Anyway, she made a new “best firiend” and so did I. Then I didn’t know why, 45 she started cutting herself!
She then was diagnosed as clinical depression （临床抑郁症）. At first, I was very 46 , but we still stayed in 47 . I wanted to be there for her since her new best friends basically 48 her and people were calling her 49 .
Yesterday she came to me and said: “I never knew what a best friend was 50 you were the only person that would stop me from cutting. 1 51 you so much, and you didn’t even know you were 52 me.”
We both cried. And I think a kind of 53 from my life so far is to never give up on （放弃）your friends. Even if they aren’t as cool as others, or people think they are crazy, they need 54__ there. If you desert them, you will only be 55 yourself.

Growing up for me was a challenge. I started out at primary school and was always asked by my teacher to sit at the 36 of the class because I was a fool.
I kept 37 things: I forgot nursery songs and spellings. I was the 38 of class jokes and I was all alone and 39 . I hated school, but my dad would hear none of it. He kept telling me I was a 40 , if I believed it.
A 41 around came one day when I remembered the 42 of the word “Cognoscenti”; a word all the other “ 43 students ” had forgotten how to spell 44 they spent their free time making fun of me. I wasn’t asked to spell, 45 I raised up my hand. So I stood up and went to the front of class, 46 23 pairs of eyes staring at me. My teacher grabbed her stick, ready to hit me if I’d 47_ . I wrote the letters, spelt the word and became an instant champion. Afterwards, I 48 and won, for my school, five Spelling Bee championships.

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me．
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I 36 teaching it to you．If, when I speak to you, I 37 the same things thousand and one times, do not 38 me, listen to me．When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story 39 you got to sleep．When I do not want to have a 40 , neither shame me nor scold me．Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I 41 , in order that you wanted to bathe．When you see my 42 little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile．I taught you 43 to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…．When at some moment I lose the memory or the 44 of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you 45 to me．
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me．I know well 46 I need to and when not．When my 47 legs do not allow me to walk, give me your 48 , the same way I did when you gave your first 49 ．And when someday I say to you that I do not want to 50 any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry．Someday you will understand．
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived．Some day you will discover that, 51 my mistakes, I always wanted the 52 thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you．You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(无可奈何) for seeing me 53 you．You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you 54 living．Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and 55 ．I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you．
I love you, Son．
Your father
