Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced:"Dad, because today is your birthday and you're 40 years old, I'm going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!"When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言) , the father shouted:"Andrew, don't do it now. I'm too busy!"
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said:"You can finish later. The boy said nothing but quietly walked away."That evening the father said:"Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!"But the boy didn't.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father's birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote:"If only(要是...该多好) I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting."
Love is a two-way street.We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a"NO"and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don't receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.
