ield to see the Brooklyn Dodgers play。 He liked to go to dances and parties； where he could have a good time just sitting and watching。
On one memorable occasion a fight broke out at a beach party； with everyone punching and shoving。 He wasn’t content to sit and watch； but he couldn’t stand unaided on the soft sand。 In frustration3 he began to shout； “I’ll fight anyone who will sit down with me！” Nobody did。 But the next day people kidded him by saying it was the first time any fighter was urged to take a dive even before the bout began。
I now know he participated in some things vicariously through me； his only son。 When I played ball （poorly）； he “played” too。 When I joined the Navy； he “joined” too。 And when I came home on leave； he saw to it that I visited his office。 Introducing me； he was really saying； “This is my son； but it is also me； and I could have done this； too； if things had been different。” Those words were never said aloud。
He has been gone many years now； but I think of him often。 I wonder if he sensed my reluctance to be seen with him during our walks。 If he did； I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was； how unworthy I was； how I regretted it。 I think of him when I plain about trifles； when I am envious of another’s good fortune； when I don’t have a “good heart”。
At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance； and say； “you set the pace； I will try to adjust to you。”
一杯牛奶的溫暖
佚名
一天，一個可憐的小男孩兒為湊足學費正挨家挨戶地推銷商品。他發現身上只剩一角錢了，此時他很餓，因此決定從下一家要點兒吃的。
然而，當一位年輕貌美的女子開啟門時，他卻緊張得不知所措。他沒有要吃的，只是要了口水喝。女子看到小男孩兒飢餓的樣子，頓生憐憫之心，便倒了一大杯牛奶遞給他。他慢慢地喝光了牛奶，問道：“我需要付您多少錢呢？”
“你不必付錢給我，”女子答道，“媽媽教育我說，愛心善舉，不求回報。”男孩說：“那麼我就發自內心地向您說聲謝謝！”當霍華德？凱利走出這戶人家時，他覺得渾身充滿了力量，也對上帝和整個人類充滿了信心。原本，他打算放棄。
若干年後，那位女子得了重病，當地醫生都束手無策。
