19．
When we got to the hospital，we found Dad still coughed a lot，but his smile was as sure as ever．It was another attack of pneumonia（肺炎）．My husband and I stayed with him for the weekend，but we had to go back to our jobs on Monday．Local relatives would help Dad get home from the hospital and look after him．But I wanted to let him know that we also cared about him．even when we weren't with him．
Then I remembered a family tradition when our children were small．Before leaving their grandparents'home after a visit，each child would write a love note to their grandparents．For days，their grandparents would smile as they read these notes of love．
So when I cleaned Dad's kitchen and made the bed for him，I wrote some notes．Some were like this，"Dad，I put the food in the fridge．"Some expressed my love，"Dad，I hope you will sleep well in your new bed．"Most notes were put downstairs where he would stay for several weeks when he was ill．But I put one note upstairs under his pillow（枕頭），"Dad，if yon have found this note，you must be feeling better．We are so glad!"
"These notes helped improve his health．Several weeks later，in one of our regular phone calls，I asked Dad how he was doing．He said，"Pretty good．I just found your note under my pillow upstairs!
