Many years ago my dad was diagnosed (诊断) with a terminal illness . He was unable to work at
36 job . He would be fine for quite a while , but would then fall suddenly
37 and have to be admitted to the hospital .
He wanted to do something to keep himself
38 , so he decided to volunteer at the local children
39 . My dad loved kids . He would talk to them and play with them .Sometimes ,
he would
40 one of his kids . In certain instances , he would give
41 to the sad parents of these children .
One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a
42 disease that paralyzed (使…瘫痪) her from the neck down . I don’t know the
43 of the disease , but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl . My dad decided to try to help her . He started
44 her in her room , bringing paints , brushes and paper . He stood the paper up
45 a backing , put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint . He didn’t use his hands at all . Only his 46 would move . He would visit her
47 he could and paint for her . All the while he would tell her , “see , you can do
48 you set your mind to .”
49 , she began to paint using her mouth , and she and my dad became friends . Soon after , the little girl was discharged (允许出院). My dad also
50 the children hospital for a little while because he became ill. Sometime later after my dad had recovered and
51 t
o work , he was at the volunteer counter one day and
52 the front door open . In came the little girl who had been paralyzed , but this time she was
53 . She ran straight to my dad and hugged him really tight . She gave my dad a picture she had done using her
54 . At the bottom it read, “thank you for helping me w
alk .” Sometimes love is more
55 than doctors , and my dad-who died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture-loved every single child in that hospital .
