Question

   Nine years ago,after Leo had died,people said to me, "I never knew he was your stepfather. " You see,I never called him that. At first,he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time,I felt he was my father too.

    Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a suburban development (新建 住宅區(qū)) . At first our lawn was just a pile of mud with wild grass,but Leo said,     " We can plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers. " And just those little touches made our lawn different from all others 5 here. More importantly,a relly fonily was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, learning what it meant to have a father.

   On weel mornings when the weather was bad,Leo often drove me fo school. I always thought it was wonderful. On Saturday mornings,we went to the hardware shop,and then stepped igo the five and-dime (廉價品店) ，buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special,but I,who had ever before spent my childhood only watching other families do their everyday activities,experienced this now with extreme delight. Looking back,I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most 一 the experiences of doing ordinary things together as a family.

    Soon after we moved to the suburb,one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said,Myou look just like your father. " I knew she was just making a conversation — but even so... "Thankyou," I said. Why tell her anything different?
