8．I had a great time this past summer visiting Stone Mountain Park with my twin grandsons．I had the opportunity to spend the day with them seeing the various sights and attractions．One thing that my grandsons had really wanted to do that particular day was to climb to the top of the mountain．Stone Mountain isn't a particularly tall mountain and fortunately has walking trails to the top，but for two 5-year-olds，along with grandpa，it's a formidable task．
Since my grandson's enthusiasm was much greater than mine，I decided to start the slow walk up the mountain．The beginning part of the trail was slow and gradual．It seemed like we were taking forever to climb just a short distance，but I had to remind myself that it took 3of their steps to equal 1of mine，so I found myself walking ahead of them，then having to stop and let them catch up，over and over again．
I was tired and sweaty，just wanting to get to the top of the mountain so I could rest well before starting my way back．I learned early on during our walk that this wasn't going to be the case．We had to stop and look at every large rock with someone's name carved in it．We looked at unususal plant formations．We examined large trees and we explored small rock overhangs that reminded the kids of caves．My grandsons viewed the walk as an exciting adventure．Climbing the mountain was a trial to me but my grandsons were not focused at all on the trial of climbing the mountain； they were simply enjoying the journey of the walk．
I know when I face a trial in life，I tend to always think of the problem．I want the trial to be over quickly and let life get back to normal．What can I learn during the course of the trial？At some point，the trial will be over and we'll be joyous for sure．
However，the real joy should not be that the trial's over，but I am celebrating what I learned during the journey．

8．Kitty is a little black-and-brown Australian dog．It's not a particularly bright dog．While Dad can make my sister and me afraid just by the tone of his voice，I have never heard him raise his voice at Kitty．In fact，one look from Kitty at the biscuit tin is enough to send my dad flying to get him a snack．Whenever we protest（抗议） about the unfair treatment，Dad has a sorry smile on his face．It's become a long-standing family joke that Kitty is the closest thing to a son Dad will ever have．
Then，five years ago，our lives were turned upside down when Dad suffered two major strokes（中风）within a month．For four long months，mentally he was non-responsive．We had to take turns standing by his bedside to protect him．We were exhausted after every"shift"but grateful that he was still alive．As the months went by，I couldn't help but talk about Kitty constantly，often hoping that Dad could show some awareness of what I said．
Then one day，without even realizing it，I blurted out（脱口而出），"Is Kitty a tiger？"Dad began to smile．It was the first sign in four months that Dad had showed any awareness of what I said．Seeing this，the whole family felt a huge weight lift from our shoulders．
Over the next nine months，Dad had to learn all the basic things we take for granted．Dad，who was an independent man with a successful career before all this happened，found it increasingly frustrating（令人沮丧的）．The only thing that ever brought a smile to his face was talk of Kitty．
When we massaged（按摩）Dad's arms and legs to prevent his muscles from weakening，I would always say："Now all you need is Kitty to give you a‘lick-lick'foot massage!"No matter how many times I repeated this comment，the whole family would laugh．
