For life itself, sometimes living with dignity is more important and more difficult than living long.
This year, the first Mid-Autumn Festival without a father.
In the past, I would call my father every holiday, but this year I walked alone in the street late at night, looking at the lights of thousands of homes, and suddenly felt desolate and lonely.
In July, my father had an accident in his hometown, on the way to the city to renovate the new house, the car overturned, the pedestrians on the side of the road called 120, the uncle called me to hurry home, I asked if I could transfer to the hospital, the uncle said it was too late, did head surgery, has been unconscious.
My father lay in the ICU for three days and three nights, and finally the doctor gave up, and I could only watch him leave when I came back, without even a chance to have a conversation.
My father worked hard all his life, almost contributed his life to this family, and every year he drifted around with the construction site, and my son, who is not a tool, did not do much filial piety in middle age, and the short reunion of the Spring Festival every year is also incompatible with father and son.
The stubborn little old man was gone, and I didn't understand the true meaning of the word father until today.
When I grow up, I become you.
I hope that for the rest of my life, I can be like a father, an ordinary and great father.

Grandma walked with pancreatic cancer.
I was still in elementary school, and there was a time when my mother suddenly stopped picking me up from school, and then my father told me that my grandmother was sick and my mother took care of her.
That year's Spring Festival was particularly depressing, my grandmother was already lying on the bed and could not get up, my mother took me and touched my grandmother's hand, I felt particularly cold.
Grandpa also suddenly felt old at once, and for the first time I felt the pain of decades of companionship and care, suddenly separated.
Before leaving, My grandmother tried to get up and send us, but we stopped her, but at that moment she did not give up the look of everyone leaving, I still remember it vividly.
Mom also laughed and said, 'Mom, we'll see you in a while, it'll be fine,' and Grandma smiled and said to us, 'I'm going to live until Tong Tong goes to college.'"
But when I saw my mother turn around, I wiped my tears, and it seemed that I suddenly understood a lot, and it turned out that adults can also lie.
Later, I heard my mother say that everyone was hiding my grandmother's illness, but my grandmother had already sensed it, but she didn't want everyone to worry and pretended not to know.
Later, I learned that pancreatic cancer is the most painful, but my grandmother never cried a word of bitterness, and when she left, she told everyone to take care of themselves.
With this article, I would like to commemorate my most beloved and kind grandmother.
