Many years ago, my dad got heart disease（疾病）and had to be sent to the hospital. He couldn’t work for a long time so he decided to be a volunteer at a children’s hospital.
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.
