A letter to Dad

School affiliated Middle School Song Hui

When was the letter written, and who was it addressed to who really can't remember。Today, I picked up a pen to write a letter to my father, and talked to my father in this way, because today's father has long been unable to talk to me like a father and daughter。It is said that letters have become a modern society"Luxury", then I will send this letter to dad, as I give dad the only "luxury"。

Dear Dad,

Since you developed Alzheimer's three years ago, you are no longer as lucid as you used to be。

Once as a surgeon, your mind is always very clear, meticulous to work, spare time is also quiet reading;If relatives, friends or even patients ask for help, you always answer patiently and carefully, so that the people who ask for help can also hear clearly。But now, you mess things up like a child, you talk incoherently, you don't even know who I am, but you always talk"They're waiting for a consultation", "I have an operation tomorrow"...I know how attached you are to your work。

Since you developed Alzheimer's three years ago, you are no longer as considerate as you used to be。

You have always been a kind father, no matter what mistakes I have made since childhood, you have never hit me, and you have always tried to meet my requirements。I missed the college entrance examination, you do not want me to read the third year, so resolutely decided to let me study teachers' college at my own expense, you can imagine the early 1990s two thousand yuan a year tuition fees to the family increased how much burden。I did not do well in the exam, you did not blame me, just said to try your best。Later my sisters and I had families, but every time we came home to see you, you drove us to the station when we left, rain or wind。You're still in your 80s...Although now you are no longer as concerned about our coming and going as before, but we say goodbye to you, you will occasionally say a habit - be careful on the road。I know that your fatherly role has never changed in your mind。

Since you developed Alzheimer's three years ago, you are not as strong as you used to be。

Since you joined the army at the age of 16, you have always had the strong character of a soldier。From participating in the Huaihai Campaign, the war against the US and aiding Korea to Tangshan earthquake, Xingtai earthquake rescue;You have always rushed to the forefront, not afraid of how difficult。In 1997, you had bladder cancer. As a doctor, you knew what that meant, but you still fought the disease without fear。Now that you're 88 years old, you've survived bladder cancer, heart disease, diabetes...But it is such a strong you whenever you think of some relatives and the past you will cry more than, I know that you that moment of weakness is actually not to give up the family。

Dad, you don't understand what I'm saying to you now, much less this letter from me, but what does it matter？Dad in, home in, love in, love in, as long as I open the door to see you, I will always be happy like a child。

                                      Always love your daughter
