When the man’s wife died, their youngest baby was 2 years old. They had six other children — three boys and three girls, aged from 4 to 16. The man’s parents and his wife’s parents came to visit.

“We’ve been talking about how to make this work,” they said. “There’s no way you can take care of all these children and work to make a living. So, we’ve decided to place each child with a different uncle and aunt.” The man refused.

Over the next few weeks, he moved the family to a tiny town and opened a small business. His business developed quickly. He was happy to see people and serve them. He became popular with people for his pleasant personality and excellent customer (顧客) service. People came from far away to do business with him. And the children helped both at home and at work.

The children grew up and got married. Five of the seven went off to college. The children’s success was a source (來(lái)源) of pride to the father.

Then came grandchildren. No one enjoyed grandchildren more than this man. As they became toddlers (學(xué)走路的孩子), he invited them to his workplace and his small home. They brought each other great joy.

Finally, the youngest daughter, who was 2 years old when the mother died, got married. With his life’s work done, the father died.

This man’s work had been the lonely but joyful task of raising his family. This man was my father. I was the 16-year-old, the oldest of seven.
