When I was growing up, I felt ashamed to be seen with my father. He was seriously crippled (跛的) and very short. When we __1__ together, his hand on my arm for balance, people would __2__. I would feel uncomfortable at the unwanted attention. It was difficult to coordinate (协调) our __3__— his slow, mine impatient — and because of that, we __4__ talked much as we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to __5__ you.”

Our __6__ walk was to or from the subway, which was __7__ he got to work. He went to work __8__ bad weather. He almost never __9__ a day, and would make it to the __10__ even if others could not.

When snow or ice was on the ground, it was impossible for him to walk, __11__ with help. At such times I would __12__ him through the streets of Brooklyn, on a child’s sled to the subway entrance. In Manhattan the subway station was under the ground of his office building, and he would not have to go __13__ again until I met him in Brooklyn on his way home.

When I think of it now, I wonder how much __14__ it must have taken for an adult to stand such shame, and how he did it — without __15__. He never showed any __16__ of the more fortunate or able. What he __17__ in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the __18__ was good enough for him.

He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he __19__ my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how I __20__ it.
