My husband David is so warm hearted that he is concerned about and always helps the elders in our community.
Mr. Smith had been fishing with David for over 10 years and a friendship was established between them. Unluckily, Mrs Smith died three years ago. Mr. Smith felt lost and heartbroken. So David took Mr Smith fishing regularly. A few years later, as a result of a stroke (中风), Mr Smith lost his speech and even couldn't move his left side. He was put into a nursing home as no one would look after him at home. Unable to talk a walk, Mr Smith began to suffer from depression. David felt sorry for Mr Smith. Therefore, he tried to get permitted from the nursing home to take Mr. Smith out for a ride every a few days. Finally, he made it. But it was painful for Mr. Smith to get into David's truck. Seeing this, David was worried so much.
Actually David had bought his favorite truck just two years earlier. But he sold it so as to buy a van (厢式货车) which has enough room to be equipped with a wheelchair. With the newly bought one, Mr. Smith could go out more easily. Because of the van, they both enjoy their outing much more. They are so close and harmonious (和谐的) that all staff in the nursing home are moved and believe David is Mr. Smith’s son.
