I will always appreciate my father and his faith.
As I held my father’s hands one night, I couldn’t help but notice their calluses(老茧)and roughness. His hands tell the story of his life as a 41 , including all his struggles.
One 42 , I remember, a drought (旱灾)hit Ontario, turning it into a burning desert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the last 43 from the grocery store. Fifty dozen was all we needed, which 44 took twenty minutes. That morning, however, the process didn’t go quickly. After forty minutes of 45 walking in the field, we 46 needed twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and angry. 47 the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves!” Dad laughed. “Just think, my little girl, only 48 dozen left for each of 49 and then we’re done.” Such is Dad----whatever problem he 50 , he never gives up.
51 , the disastrous effects of the drought were felt all over our county. It was a challenging time for everyone, 52 Dad remained optimistic. He 53 to be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plate. Only then did I truly begin to 54 Dad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.
Dad is also a living example of real 55 . From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours to 56 our family. He always puts our happiness 57 his own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports games 58 his exhaustion(疲劳) after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic and 59 others first.
Dad,the life 60 I have learned from you will stay with me forever. You are my father, teacher, friend and, most importantly, my hero.
