All houses should have a kitchen window.At least，for me，there is a lot to see in the view from my kitchen window.

It was a spring day，and I was washing the dishes when I happened to 1 of the kitchen window into the backyard.My husband，Mike，was out cultivating the garden with a 2 .Our son，Jeremy，who was four years old at the time was right 3 him.

Mike was moving the plough very 4 in order to do a good job of breaking up the soil for 5 .My son was just inches behind my husband and each time Mike took a step，Jeremy took a step.He would carefully put his own small 6 in the huge footmark 7 from my husband’s boot.He took a 8 with his right foot and then his left and then he would wait 9 for when it would be time to take the next step.Although Jeremy didn’t know it，his father had been 10 over him all the time，even when he stumbled(绊) and 11 .

At other times，I became 18 of waiting for the next step and began looking around at all the rocks of the world that led me to 19 my road.Like Jeremy，all I needed was to turn around and 20 my eyes on my father who had also been watching over me all the time.
