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, including all his struggles.
One summer, I remember, a drought (旱灾）hit Ontario, turning it into adesert. On one of those hot mornings I was picking sweet corn with my dad to fill the lastfrom the grocery store. Fifty dozen was all we needed, whichtook twenty minutes. That morning, however, the process didn’tquickly. After forty minutes of aimlessly walking in the field, weneeded twenty dozen. I was completely frustrated and. Dropping the basket heavily, I declared, “If the store wants its last twenty dozen, they can pick it themselves.” Dad, “Just think, my little girl, only ten dozen left for each of us and then we’re.” Such is Dad—whatever problem he, he never gives up.
, the disastrous (灾难性的) effects of the drought were felt all over our county. It was a challenging time for everyone,Dad remained optimistic. Heto be grateful for other things like good health and food on our plates. Only then did I truly begin toDad and his faith that guided us through the hard times.
Dad is also a living example of real. From dawn to dusk, he works countless hours toour family. He always puts our happinesshis own, and never fails to cheer me on at my sports shis exhaustion after long days. His loving and selfless nature has inspired me to become more sympathetic (同情心的) andputting others first.
Dad, the lifeI have learned from you will stay with me forever. You are my father, teacher, friend and, most importantly, my hero.
