All my best wishes to my school and teachers!

A long time before I was born, my grandma and grandpa moved into the house on Beechwood Avenue. They had a young family of 4 little girls.

During that time, work was hard to find, so Grandpa did whatever jobs he could. He worked on a farm during the week and on weekend he and Grandma grew some of their own food in the garden.

Everybody worked to keep the garden growing. All summer long, the family ate food from the garden and enjoyed the beautiful flowers. Grandma made jam（果酱） with strawberries, tomatoes, pears and peaches. It was good to eat through the long winter.

The family grew up, and before too many years had passed, the grandchildren came to visit. Grandma and Grandpa still planted their garden every spring. Everyone still enjoyed the good food from the garden and always took some home.

Grandchildren grew up, and grandparents grew older. It became harder for Grandma and Grandpa to keep up the garden. So they made it a little smaller. There was still plenty to eat from the garden and lovely flowers to enjoy.

Then one summer when Grandpa was eighty-nine years old, all he could do was to watch from his chair as the vegetables grew and the roses came out. Summer slowly went away, and Grandpa died before it was time to bring in the harvest（丰收）.

There was a girl who could not walk because of a disease. She wouldn’t do anything and was very sad. My dad decided to help her. He started visiting her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and some white paper. He put the brush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hand at all. Only his head moved. After finishing the picture, he said to the girl, “Look, I can paint without hand. You can also do anything you want. You should not be so sad.” He tried his best to teach the girl to paint the picture.

At last, the girl began to paint herself, and learnt to walk bravely. However, the doctors felt surprised that there was nothing else they could do for the girl and they let the girl leave the hospital. Several months later, my dad received a call from the little girl. She said she could walk. She mailed my dad a picture she had drawn. At the bottom it read, “Thank you for helping me.”

My dad would cry whenever he told us this story. He would say that love can be more powerful than doctors, and my dad died just a few months after the little girl gave him the picture.
