Learning to Accept

I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 1, he did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when he was  2and ill.

My father was 3a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4all that away. Now he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking is5.  One night, I went to visit him with my sister, we started  6about life, and I told them about one of my 7. I said that we must always give things up 8we grow—our youth, our beauty, our friends ----but it always 9that after we give something up , we gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 10up. He said, “But, Peter. I gave up 11! What did I gain?”  I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 12, he answered his own question : “I 13the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters, and saw tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.

I was also 14by his words. After that ,when I began to feel irritated(憤怒的) at someone, I 15remember his words and become 16. If he could replaced his great pain with a feeling of love for others, then I should be   17to give up my small irritations. In this 18, I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I 19what other things I could learn from him if I listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one  20.
