Dad taught me a lot about life, especially its hard times. I remembered one of his 21 one night when I was ready to 22 a political campaign I was losing, and wrote about it in my diary.
Tired, feeling the months of 23 in vain, I went up to my study to make some notes. I was looking for a pencil in the back of my desk drawer 24 I turned up one of Dad’s old business cards that he was proud of: Andrea Cuomo Italian-American Groceries --- Fine Imported Products. Then I thought about how he 25 with difficult situations. A lot of pictures 26 into my mind, but one scene came sharply into 27.
We had just moved to Holliswood, New York. We had our own house for the first time; it had some land around it, even trees. One, 28, was a great blue spruce (云杉) that must have been 40 feet tall.
Less than a week after we moved in, there was a terrible storm. We came home from the store that night to find the spruce pulled almost 29 from the ground and thrown onto the street. When my brother Frankie and I saw the spruce, our hearts 30. But not Dad’s.
The rain was falling. Then he 31 , “Ok, we’re going to push him up!” “ What are you talking about, Dad? The 32 are out of the ground!” “ Shut up, we’re going to push him up, he’s going to grow again.” We couldn’t say 33 to him. So we 34 him into the house and got what rope 35 was and tied it around the top of the tree that lay on the street, and then he stood up by the house, 36 me pulling on the rope, and Frankie in the street in the rain, 37 to push up the great blue spruce. In no 38 at all, we had him standing up straight again! Dad 39 the stakes (桩) in the ground, tied the rope from the trunk to the stakes, and said, “ Don’t worry. He’s going to grow again…”
I looked at the card and wanted to cry. I 40 wait to get back into the campaign.
