We arrived at the hospital to find Dad was very weak, but his smile was as 36 as ever. It was another attack of pneumonia（肺炎）. My hushand and I stayed with him for the 37 but had to return to our jobs on Monday. Local 38 would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him. 39 I longed to be able to let him know that we cared too, even when we weren’t with him.
Then I remembered a 40 tradition（傳統(tǒng)）when our children were small When 41 their grandparents’ home after a visit, each child would write a love note to their grandparents. They __42__ notes in the cereal（麥片）box, under a hairbrush, next to the 43 or even in the microwave（微波爐）. For days, their grandparents would 44 as they discovered these reminders of our love.
45 as I tidied Dad‘s kichen and 46 up a bed for him downstairs in the living room, I wrote some notes. Some were 47 , “Dad, I put the food in the fridge so it wouldn’t go bad.” Some expressed my love, “Dad, I 48 you will sleep well in your new 49 .” Most notes were down-stairs where he would stay for several weeks until he 50 strength, but one note I hid upstairs under his pillow, “Dad, if you have found this 51 , you must be feeling better. We are so glad!”
Just like his 52 strengthened him physically, these “emotional vitamins” would 53__ his spiritual health. Several weeks later, in one of our 54 phone calls, I asked Dad how he was
