Roger Crawford had everything he needed to play tennis―except two hands and a leg. He had no palms（手掌）. The doctor said Roger 36 from born disability, and he would never be able to walk or 37 himself. Fortunately Roger’s parents didn’t 38 the doctor.

“My parents always 39 me that I was only as handicapped（殘疾的） as I wanted to be,” said Roger. “They never allowed me to feel sorry for myself or 40 advantage of people because of my handicap. Once I got into 41 because my school papers were continually late,” explained Roger, who had to hold his pencil with both arms to write   42. “I asked Dad to write a note to my 43, asking for a two-day extension on my assignments（作業）. 44, Dad made me start writing my paper two days early!”

Roger’s father always 45 him to get involved in 46. At 12, Roger managed to win a place on the school football team. Before every game, Roger would visualize（設計） his dream of scoring a touchdown. Then one day he got his chance. The ball landed in his arms and 47. He ran as fast as he could on his artificial 48 toward the goal line, his coach and teammates 49 wildly. But at the ten-yard line, a guy from the other team 50 up with Roger, grabbing his left ankle. Roger tried to pull his artificial leg 51, but instead it ended up being pulled off.

Roger’s love of sports 52 and so did his self-confidence. But not every obstacle gave way to Roger’s determination. “The only 53 between you and me is that you can see my handicap, but I can’t see yours. I haven’t overcome anything. I’ve 54   learned what I can’t do ― such as play the piano or eat with 55.”

Valentine’s Day was the time my father chose to show his love for the special people in his life. Over the years I fondly (天真地) thought    21     him as my “Valentine man”.

My first memory of the    22      he could bring to Valentine’s Day came when I was six. That morning at the breakfast table I found a card and a gift-wrapped package at my chair. The card was    23   “Love, Dad” and the gift was a ring with a small piece of red glass to    24    my birthstone, a ruby (紅寶石). There is     25     difference between red glass and rubies to a child of six, and I remember    26   that ring with pride that all the cards in the world     27     not surpass (超越).

  28   I grew older, the gifts gave    29   to heart-shaped boxes filled with my    30    chocolate and always included a     31    card signed “Love, Dad”. In those years my “thank-you” became   32    of a perfunctory (敷衍) response. The cards seemed less    33    , and I took for granted that the Valentine would     34    be there. I had    35     my hopes and dreams in receiving cards and gifts from “significant others” and “Love Dad” just didn’t seem quite    36    .

His final card remains on my desk today. It’s a     37    of how special fathers can be and how important it has been to me to know that I had a father who continued a  tradition of    38     with simple acts of understanding of the people in his life.

Those things never    39     , nor does the memory of a man who never     40    being my Valentine man.

Mother used to ask me what the most important part of the body is. Through the years I would     2l    the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought  _22  very important to us, so I said, “My ears, Mum.” She said, “No, many people are  23  . But think about it and I’ll ask you again.”  

Since making my first  _24  , I had often thought over the question. So the next time l told her, “Mum, it must be our eyes.” She said, “You are__25  fast, but the answer isn’t correct because there are blind people.”
