 “Remember, your father is only one year __61__(old) than you.” That was Mum’s usual excuse when Dad said the wrong things or did something ___62___(fool).

Dad quitted ___63____ (drink) exactly one year before I was born. He joined a group of other people. He said they had stopped drinking, too. I loved my dad but I hated the way his weekly meetings took him away from me. It seemed that they were ___64___important to him than I was. But with my birthday coming up I thought Dad would make an exception（例外）.“Can’t you miss it just this time? Saturday is my birthday!” I begged him __65___ was refused. He said “I am chairing the meeting this Saturday. We will have your party on Sunday.”

Only then __69__ I know it was Dad ___70___saved his life from drinking. Showing up week after week and meeting with people, Dad was changing lives. Shame washed over me.
