We always celebrated Dad"s birthday on Thanksgiving Day, even after he entered a nursing home. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to come together for a huge birthday celebration at the nursing home. Dad was a good storyteller. But this time I told Dad that it was now his turn to listen to some stories for a change. One after another, people told stories from their hearts, while Dad listened with tears in eyes. People recalled kinds of stories ----stories about when they were little, stories about when Dad was young, and stories that shared family treasures. Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn"t wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who had been kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was a change to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad"s memorial service, we more fully realized what we had given to Dad that night. Those are the stories people normally tell at a funeral (葬礼) after a loved one is no longer alive to hear the words. They tell stories, full of tears. But we had given those memories to Dad in his life, and we had told them through laughter, together with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his mind during his last days and months. That"s the ways to give back love and that"s our chance to celebrate a person in his or her life. |

Two buses travel along the line: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus gets to Souk Road, it is always full, so I can"t get on it.

If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus every day? The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting.
