Question

So I went back home to4with my father and stepmother. To their credit, they understood me and were very cool about my coming back. I felt their5from the moment I walked in the door. They6to let me feel like a failure.
One morning not long after I had come home, my father woke me up saying that my stepmother7on the kitchen floor. I went downstairs trying to perform CPR on her8it was too late. She was already dead of a massive heart attack.
I’11 never9the look on my father’s face when he was given the official news of her passing. I knew at that moment that I had to be10because he needed someone to lean on. It was as if our roles had11and I was being the protective parent while he took the time to12.
I guess the lesson I took from it is that even in our13moments we can still be of help to someone who is14something much harder. It’s so easy to close ourselves off to the things going on around us, and15feel that we are the only ones16. Helping someone else could actually help us17ourselves.
Needlessly to say I went back to college the next semester, and I studied harder and got my18. My father and I developed a bond that was19closer than it already was, and I have a much better ability to keep20times in perspective.(適當?shù)?
