One pleasant evening, I was holding Grandpa's hand and taking a walk in the park. "Where are the peanuts? Give me now!" He suddenly said. How I wished I had some with me! "William, the monkeys are taking long to come out today. Wait till they smell the peanuts." I knew he was lost in one of his memories again. I remembered the stories he told me of how he fed the monkeys when he was a kid. Then, he saw the goldfish! He acted as if he was seeing them for the first time.

    Poor Grandpa! He fell ill with Alzheimer's disease (阿尔茨海默症) last year. The doctor said it was a progressive brain disorder which could destroy (破坏) a person's memory. The patient might also not be able to make reasonable judgments (判断). The saddening part was that it was a lifelong disease. But when my parents invited him to stay with us, he refused and said he liked living alone. One day, he forgot to turn off the fire after cooking porridge. Luckily, one of the neighbors came to help him before the fire could spread.

    It was then that my parents brought Grandpa to live with us. Often, he would forget my name and ask me who I was and what I was doing in his house. Each time I would answer softly, "It's me, Ray, Grandpa!" Even if he had forgotten who I was, he would always be my beloved grandfather.

In the past, I didn't get on well with my parents. I hardly talked to them, because they liked to compare me with my sister. And that made me {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (happy) and sad. I didn't know {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to do. Sometimes I even {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (argue) with them about this.

However, I wanted to show them that I could do things as {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (good) as my sister. Then I began to spend most of my free time {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (paint) in my bedroom. {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (Lucky), my art teacher, Miss Green, offered me a lot of help. She taught me some drawing skills to help improve my paintings. At that time, she was the only person I would like {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (communicate) with.

One day, I told Miss Green {#blank#}8{#/blank#} my problem. She encouraged me to take part in a painting competition. She said the best way to communicate with my parents was to prove (证明) myself to them. After a few weeks' waiting, the result finally came out. I got the first prize! When I took the prize home, my parents were so happy {#blank#}9{#/blank#} they couldn't stop laughing all the time! And they began to care more about me. Now {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (relation) between my parents and me are very good. So I think it's very important to have someone to talk to.
