It was during this time that Dad became stricken with cancer.When the letters didn't come on Friday,I knew that he had been sick and wasn't able to write.He used to get up at 4:00 a.m.So he could sit in the quiet house and do his letters.If he missed his Friday delivery,the letters would usually come a day or two later.【高分句型一】But they always came.My friends used to call him "Coolest Dad in the Universe".(爸爸在生病之后依然坚持给作者写信)
Then the time came when I decided to come home because he was growing sicker.And I knew that our time together was limited.Those were the hardest days to go through.To watch this man,who always acted so young,age passed his years.In the end he didn't recognize who I was.【高分句型二】Even though I knew it was due to his illness,it still hurt that he couldn't remember my name.I was alone with him in his hospital room a couple of days before he died.We held hands and watched TV.As I was getting ready to leave,he said,"Angie,I love you."(爸爸病重时作者一直陪在他身边)
