After my husband died, my world crashed around me. My six children were 10, nine, eight, six, three and 18 months, and I was overwhelmed(壓垮) with the responsibilities(責(zé)任) of earning a living, caring for the children and simply keeping my head above water.
I was lucky to find a wonderful housekeeper to care for the children during the week, but from Friday nights to Monday mornings, the children and I were alone, and frankly(坦誠地) I was uneasy. Every unusual noise or any late-night phone call filled me with fear. I felt really lonely.
One Friday evening I came home from work to find a big beautiful German shepherd(牧羊犬) on our doorstep. It was obvious he wanted to make the house his home. The children took an instant（緊迫的） liking to "German" and begged me to let him in. I agreed to let him sleep in the basement(地下室) until the next day. That night I slept peacefully for the first time in many weeks. The following morning we made phone calls and checked lost-and-found ads for German’s owner, but with no results. Saturday night he was still with us.
On Sunday I had planned to take the children on a picnic. Since I thought it best to leave German behind in case his owner came by, we drove off without him. When we stopped to get gas at a local station, we were amazed to see German racing to the gas station after us. He stayed again Sunday night.
Monday morning I let him out for a run while the children got ready for school. He didn’t come back. We thought we’d never see him again. On Friday evening, German was back again. We took him in, and again he stayed until Monday morning, when our housekeeper arrived. It went like this for almost 10 months. We looked forward to his coming each Monday morning he left home.
Each week, between German's visits, I grew a little braver, but every weekend I enjoyed his company. Then one Monday morning we patted his head and let him out for what turned out to be the last time. He never came back.

It’s not easy to be an astronaut’s (宇航員) son．Everybody expects you to be special or perfect(完美的)．I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me．I mean he’s so special and so good at everything he does．Even in middle school he was class president and captain of the football team．

Well，to be honest，I often dream about being some kind of hero or doing something special—like saving a child from a burning building or discovering（發(fā)現(xiàn)）a new star．I was daydreaming （做白日夢）at school one morning when my teacher said there would be a Father’s Day writing competition for the whole school．“I hope we have a winner right here in my class．”

When I got home，I started to think about what to write．My father is an astronaut．No，I wouldn’t start like that．That was the way others saw him．How did I see my father? Hmm．I saw him sitting with me in the dark when I had a terrible dream．I remembered how he hugged （擁抱）me for hours when my dog Spotty was killed by a car．Yes，these were the things I was going to write．To me，he wasn’t just a world-famous astronaut．He was my dad．

My parents and l went to school on Thursday night．There were so many people in the big hall! My dad looked at me，and I shrugged(聳肩)．The third prize was announced(宣布) and it was not me．1 was relieved(釋然)and disappointed（失望）at the same time．The second prize was announced．It was me．1 went up to the stage and read what I had written，“My father’s son”．When I finished，the people stood up and cheered．I saw my father blowing his nose．Tears were running down my mother's face．Dad cleared his throat（喉嚨）and put his hand on my shoulder．“Son，this is the proudest（自豪的）moment of my life．’’

It was the proudest moment of my life，too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize，but it was enough just to be my father’s son．
