When I was a small boy my family was very poor. My father always used his savings to
my mother to visit her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the house. One evening Dad came home from
and there was no food in the house, not
a piece of bread. Although we were
, my brother and I went to bed without eating anything.
My father had no money, but I knew from the
on his face that he could not let us have an empty stomach. He
the house and about two hours later returned and quickly
us up. He had in his hand two small potato pies, which he gave us to eat. I don't know where he got the
but somehow he
to get us something to eat.
My father had not eaten and had worked all day
he sat there with great satisfaction watching us eat. This has
stayed in my mind and left more of an impression than any amount of
he may ever have given me.
At that moment, I felt happy knowing that he was there and would not let us
.
I guess the
I am trying to make is that in difficult times it is
not to show weakness but strength and character. If a
is the cement (粘合剂) that holds a family together, then the father is
that strengthens that cement.
It is his values and
and memories that have carried me forward and helped me to
my own problems in life. In my own
I have learned that it is the valuable time you spend with your children and the values you give to them that will remain with them always.
