My grandfather has been smoking since he was a young teenager, and now he has a terrible 35 which makes it hard for him to breathe. Two weeks ago, he had an operation. The doctors thought that his days were numbered, but 36 he got better. He was taken off the machine that helped him breathe, but still he couldn’t talk.
37 my grandfather was in hospital, my mother and I flew to Pittsburgh to be with him. We were very 38 that we wouldn’t see him again.
When we reached my grandfather’s hospital room, I was surprised by his 39 . He looked so weak. He was hardly able to even speak. Somehow though, he managed to say, “I … you.”
“You what, Grandpa?” I asked. He didn’t have the 40 to answer me. He had used up all strength with those two words, “I … you.”
The next morning my mother and I had to leave. I kept wondering just what he had tried so hard to tell 41 . It wasn’t until I was back home in Georgia that I learned what he had tried to say.
A week after we returned home, my family received a phone call 42 one of the nurses in the hospital. She told us that my grandfather had said, “Call my granddaughter and tell her ‘love .’” At first I didn’t understand why he would just say, “love.” Why not “I love you?” Then it 43 me.

After many weeks, my grandfather was finally able to 44 . I began to call him every night. Normally he had to stop after about five minutes because he was too weak. No matter what, though, every time we 45 he would say, “I love you” and “I’d do anything for you.” These, along with his moving words, “You’re the only reason I live,” are the best compliments (赞美) I have ever received.
My grandfather is still very ill and I know we don’t have much time. I feel very honored that he has 46 his feelings with me. I have learnt a lot from this experience. But the most important thing I’ve learned is that a simple “I love you” is really not simple. It’s a reason for living.
