Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life as it is from my father36, he did not teach
me acceptance when he was strong and healthy, but rather when was 37and ill.
My father was 38a
strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 39 all that away. Now
he can no longer walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair all day. Even talking
is 40. One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 41 about
life, and I told them about one of my 42. I said that we must very often give
things up 43 we grow----our youth, our beauty, our friends------ but it
always44 that after we give something up, we gain something new in its place.
Then suddenly my father 45up. He said,＂But, Peter, I gave up 46 .What did I gain?＂I thought and thought, but I could
not think of anything to say.47, he answered his own question:＂I 48 the love of my family.＂I looked at my sisters and saw
tears in their eyes, along with hope and thankfulness.
I was also 49 by his words. After that, when I began to feel irritated(恼怒的) at someone, I 50 remember his
words and become 51 if he could replace his great pain with a feeling of love
for others, then I should be 52to give up my irritations. In this 53, I learn
the power of acceptance from my father.
Sometimes I 54what other things I could have learned from him if I had
listened more carefully when I was a boy. From now, though, I am grateful for
this one 55.
