My husband has always had a huge affection for older people and has helped out several elderly friends in the past. Mr. Dave
16 the same lake as my husband John for over 15 years．A friendship
17 but when Mrs. Dave died five years ago, it left Mr. Dave
18 . So John took Mr. Dave fishing with him every time he went. Mr. Dave was very
19 for 80 years old and never tired of being with John．
A few years later Mr. Dave had a stroke(中风)that paralyzed(麻痹)his right side．He lost his speech and was
20 a nursing home. Restricted to his bed and unable to 21 , Mr. Dave began to suffer from
22 .
This almost broke John’s heart. He finally got
23 from the nursing home to take Mr. Dave out for a ride．They were both
24 to be together again but it was very painful for Mr. Dave to be
25 into John’s truck. Because he was paralyzed on one side. The
26 of that side pulled heavily on his good side．
John had gotten his truck a year earlier, a real cowboy Cadillac,
27 was the truck of his dreams. But one day he
28 it so he could buy a van(厢式货车)that was
29 for a wheelchair. The van isn’t sporty or fast but it surely
30 Mr. Dave’s pain on their outings.
John has made a
31 fishing rod that Mr. Dave can use,
32 they still go fishing together. Even though Mr. Dave can’t
33 , he has led the nursing home staff to believe John is his son. I don’t know anyone who would
34 their prized possession to help a friend. I hope he can be an example for others to take similar steps to
35 those who are in need.
