题目内容:
I never called my father worthless. That was his own word for himself. He said it on the phone after I told him I was flying down to see him, from my home in Alaska to Florida. He had stroke(中风)the week before and then couldn’t speak very well.
“I’ll see you in about three weeks” I said, trying to make my voice cheerful, to make him comfortable. “I’mmm...not...worth...,” he said slowly, in low voice.
I knew what he meant. Actually, he did nothing meaningful to support his family. He didn’t do a job, leaving the family badly poor throughout my childhood. He seemed unable to form normal relationships, and didn’t treat his children as well as other fathers. Soon after grew up and left our house, he moved to Florida to live alone. I was glad. I saw my father three times in the next thirty years. Each time when I expected to hear some warm words from him, he would say nothing to me. The last time I saw him, I decided never to go back.
But eight years later, I felt something stronger. I wanted to forgive(原谅)him. began to try, moving slowly from “need love” to “give love” . I began to share meals with him, watch TV in his room and read to him.
And love came back. Yes, in small things. He called me “baby” one day. He phoned on my birthday. When came to visit, he didn’t want me to leave. All of this was new. All of this touched every part of me. My father was touched as well. I believed he felt loved, perhaps for first time. We cannot help all the broken families of the world, but we can begin here: with ourselves and our own families.
