The beginning of a Frank Sinatra song drifted across the dance floor and I knew my dad would call out and request that, which for most people is very 36.

　　As he walked towards me to ask for the first 37, I could see there were 38 in his eyes. I grasped the side of my chair, 39 myself up with my arms, and grabbed the two metal sticks which keep me 40 as I stood to take his hand.

　　It took all my will to 41 my own tears and inside a voice kept 42: “Don’t fall over, Martine.” We grabbed each other and in some way shuffled（穿梭）out a dance for the whole of the song.

　　For my dad, it was a turning point. He had 43 his friends on his 70th birthday he would lead his daughter in the first dance, 44 he had done so many times before. Almost a year after the suicide bomb on the London Underground train which blew 45 both my legs above the knee, I had managed to realize his 46. Like so much that has happened over the last 12 months, there was something 47 about the moment.

　　Today, on July 1, as I face the first anniversary of the terrorist 48, I am preparing to leave the country for a while. I know I 49 be celebrating the fact that I am alive, 50 I do not feel able to remain in London for the event.

　　Psychologically, I am a different person. I am very body conscious. When I go out I am 51 that children will make fun of me on my artificial legs. In my wheelchair I cover my lower half with a blanket 52 what remains of my body draws 53 glances.
