We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the
1 to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her
2 , so I allowed her to go to the store in my truck.
At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I
3 having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t
4 forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.
We were talking
5 we heard a loud noise.
6 hearing it, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted; “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck!”
My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting (矛盾的) thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was

The
9 had happened in my own driveway. Holly had
10 my truck into our family van (搬運(yùn)車). Because of her
11 , she had confused the brakes (剎車) and the gas pedal (油門). Holly was unhurt
12 but when I reached her, she was crying and saying “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.
Later that week a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (濕潤) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I

14 me.”
Over 40 years later, she still felt the
15 of the night, which was a deep wound on her soul.
I remember how
16 Holly was when she crashed our truck, and how I
17 her. One day, when Holly
18 on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times
