Our fastballs charged faster and landed more lightly. The echoes of our catches popped as the sun rose over the dew-sprink

When she neared, Dad politely leaned over the stroller, waved, and gave the baby his best smile.The mother stared at him for a second, and then rushed away.Dad covered his mouth with his hand and

41、 walked to the car. “Lets go, bud,” he said. “Im not feeling well.”A month earlier, Bells palsy (贝尔氏神经麻痹) had struck Dad, paralyzing the right side of his face. It left him slurring words and with a droopy eyelid. He could hardly drink from a cup without spilling onto his shirt. And his smile, which

46、r. He occasionally grabbed erasable markers and drew an even-sided wide smile across his face. Other times, he practiced his Elvis impersonation, joking that his curled lips allowed him to perfect his performance of “Hound Dog”.By the time I entered fourth grade that September, Dad could blink his r

47、ight eye and speak clearly again. But his smile still hadnt returned. So I made a secret vow: I would abstain from smiles of any kind.Nothing about fourth grade made this easy.
