Learning to Accept
I learned how to accept life from my father. 1 , he did not teach me to learn to accept when he was strong and healthy, but when he was 2 and ill.
My father was 3 a strong man who loved being active, but a terrible illness 4 all that away. Now he can 5 walk, and he must sit quietly in a chair 6 . Even talking is 7 . One night, I went to visit him with my sisters. We started 8 about life, and I told them about one of my 9 . I said that we must very often give things up as we grow —our youth, our beauty, our friends -- but it always seems that after we give something up, we get 10 in its place. Then suddenly my father spoke up. He said, “But Peter, I gave up 11 ! What did I get?” I thought and thought, but I could not think of anything to say. 12 , he answered his own question: “I 13 the love of my family.” I looked at my sisters and saw tears in their eyes, 14 hope and thankfulness, I was also 15 by his words.
