Dad was having another bout(发作) of pneumonia(肺炎). I stayed with him for the weekend but had to               to my job by Monday morning. Local relatives would come and make sure he got his     medicine and took him to his doctor appointments. But I longed to be able to let him know that we     too， though we weren’t with him.

Then I remembered a     tradition I had started when our children were small. When leaving their grandparents’ home after a(an)     ， each child would     a love note in the house for their grandfather or grandmother to find after they were   . They’d put the note under a hairbrush， next to the phone or in the microwave. For days after their going away， their grandparents would smile     they discovered these reminders of our love.

So as I made up a bed for him downstairs in the living room， I began writing   . Some were practical. “Dad， remember to put the fish in the fridge so it wouldn’t go bad.” Some expressed my love. “Dad， I hope you sleep     in your new bed.”Most notes were downstairs     he had to stay for several weeks until he regained(恢复) strength， but one note I hid     under his pillow(枕头). “Dad， if you have found this note， you must be feeling better. We are so     !” While others cared for his day-to-day needs， we， of course stayed in touch     phone. Our notes were reminder of our concern for him during this recovery period(恢复期间). Just like his medicines benefitted him physically， these notes   his mental health as well.

Several weeks later， in one of our regular phone calls， I asked Dad how he was going. “I’ll tell you how I’m doing. I just found your note under my pillow!” he said.
