I learned how to accept life as it is from my father. 　 36　 . He did not teach me acceptance when he was strong and healthy. but rather when he was 　 37 and ill.

My father was 　 38 a 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 always give things up 　 43 we grow----our youth. our beauty, our friends-but it always 44 that after we give something up. We gain something new in its place. Then suddenly my father 　 45　 　up. 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 fell irritated (愤怒的)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 　 52 . to give up my small irritations. In this 　 53 , I learned the power of acceptance from my father.

Sometimes I 　 54　 what other things I could learned from him if I had listened more carefully when I was a boy. For now, though, I am grateful for this one 　 55 .
