There are times when people's actions make us feel helpless and heartbroken. My father is 82 years old, and he used to smoke for 50 years and drink alcohol for decades. However, now he has quit these bad habits and is living in a nursing home. It's a touching story about my father's fresh start.
Introduction: I am Wang Ming, a child from an ordinary family. It was just me and my parents in the family, and my father was a successful entrepreneur. He used to be a good father, but his physical condition gradually deteriorated after a long period of smoking and drinking.
First time the problem was discovered:
I remember it was a cold winter day and I went home to visit my parents. Walking into the house, I smelled smoke and strong alcohol. The father sat on the couch with a burning cigarette in his hand, his eyes looking tired and confused.
Body:
I was always worried about my father's health, but he never realized the harm caused by tobacco and alcohol. Every time I tried to persuade him to quit smoking and drinking, he always smiled and said nothing, and in my eyes, he had given up caring about his health.
However, the years passed mercilessly, and my father's physical condition became worse and worse. He began to have difficulty breathing and frequent coughing, and his body gradually lost weight. I felt helpless and frightened in the face of all this.
Finally, one day, my father was sent to a nursing home. I thought, maybe this is his chance to start over. In the nursing home, the father gradually let go of the bad habits he had for many years. He quit smoking and drinking, began to eat regularly, and maintained a regular routine.
I would visit my father every day, talk with him and listen to his stories. Even though his memory is fading, I know that he can still feel my company and care.
In the nursing home, my father made some new friends. They participate in various activities together and share each other's life experiences. I saw my father's smile growing more and more, and he rediscovered his optimism and love for life.
Although my father is over eighty years old, I believe that he can still find his own happiness at this stage. He told me that he wanted to cherish the rest of his days and enjoy every warm sunshine and the beauty of the sky.
Epilogue:
The 82-year-old father quit smoking and drinking in a nursing home and started his life again. This story taught me that no matter how old we are, we all have the opportunity to start over and find our own happiness.
Perhaps, there have been some behaviors that have made us feel helpless and heartbroken, but the important thing is that we are aware of the problem and take positive action to change. I hope that everyone can draw strength from their father's story, bravely face their own difficulties, and strive for their own happiness!
