We lived in a very quiet neighborhood.One evening I heard a loud crash in the street.Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the store to get some soft drinks.It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her drivingso I sent her to the store in my truck.

At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck.I enjoyed having itbut I said“Guymy heart is not set on that truck.I like it but it is just metal and won’t last forever.Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.”

After hearing the loud noisethe whole family ran outside.My son shouted“DadDadHolloy crashed your truck.”

My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting thoughts.Was anyone hurtWho else was involvedAs I ran to the doorI heard a voice in my heart say“Here is a chance to show Holly what you really love.She’ll never forget it.”

The accident had occurred in my own driveway.Holly had crashed my truck into our other vehiclethe family van (搬运车)In her inexperienceshe had confused the brakes and the gas pedal.Holly was unhurt physicallybut when I reached hershe was crying and saying“OhDadI’m sorry.I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.

Later that week a friend stopped by and asked what had happened to my truck.I told her the whole story.Her eyes moistened and she said“That happened to me when I was a girl.I borrowed my dad’s car and ran into a log that had fallen across the road.I ruined the car.When I got home my dad knocked me to the ground and began to kick me.”

Over 40 years latershe still felt the pain of the night.It was a deep wound on her soul.

I remember how sad Holly was the night she crashed our truckand how I comforted her.One daywhen Holly thinks back on her lifeI want her to know that I love her a thousand times more than any piece of property.

I repaired the vanbut the dent(凹痕) in my truck is still there today.Every day it reminds me of what really matters in my life.(2011·宁德模拟)
