I grew up in a community called Estepona. I was 16 when one morning, Dad told me I could drive him into a   31   village called Mijas, on condition that I took the car in to be   32   at a nearby garage. I readily accepted. I drove Dad into Mijas, and   33   to pick him up at 4 pm, then dropped off the car at the   34  . With several hours to spare. I went to a theater.   35  , when the last movie finished, it was six. I was two hours late!
I knew Day would be angry if he   36   I’d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth. When I   37   there I apologized for being late, and told him I’d   38   as quickly as I could, but that the car had needed some major repairs. I’ll never forget the   39   he gave me. “I’m disappointed you   40   you have to lie to me, Jason.” Dad looked at me again. “When you didn’t   41  . I called the garage to ask if there were any   42  , and they told me you hadn’t  yet picked up the car. ” I felt  43   as I weakly told him the real reason. A   44   passed through Dad as he listened attentively. “I’m angry with   45  . I realize I’ve failed as a father. I’m going to walk home now and think seriously about   46   I’ve gone wrong all these years.” “But Day, it’s 18 miles!” My protests and apologies were   47  . Dad walked home that day. I drove behind him,   48   him all the way, but he walked silently.
Seeing Dad in so much   49   and emotional pain was my most painful experience. However, it was   50   the most successful lesson. I have never lied since.
