Dear Dad，

　　Today I was at the shopping mall and I spent a lot of time reading the Fathers Day cards. They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you. Yet as I selected and read, and selected and read again, it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really want to say to you.

　　Youll soon be 42 years old, Dad, and you and I will have had 55 Fathers Days together. I havent always been with you on Fathers Day nor have I been with you for all of your birthdays. It wasnt because I didnt want to be with you. Ive always been with you in my heart but sometimes life gets in the way.

親愛的爸爸：

　　今天我在商場的時候, 我讀了好長時間的有關父親節的賀卡。那些卡片上面的文字很特別，也或多或少地表達出了我對您的感受。我挑選讀過一次后，又挑選讀了一遍，但那并不是一張賀卡所能表達出我想對您說的話的。

　　爸爸，很快您就要42歲了，您和我也將度過這第55個父親節。父親節的那天，我總是不能和您在一起，連您過生日的時候我也是這樣，但這并不是因為我不想陪在您身邊。其實，在我心里，我總是和您在一起。不過，有的時候，生活也會有差錯。
