Each summer in the late 1960s,my two sisters and I would take the bus from Arizona to Arkansas to stay with our father.A World War Ⅱ soldier,Dad had many medical problems,any one of could cause many people to lose more than their sense of humor,but not him.
I have memories of Dad waking us in the morning.He had lost his legs in the war,so it was the wheelchair that kept him (move) around.Holding his cane,which was his (extend) arm,he would roll through the house (shout),“Up,up,up! Get up and face the day! It's a beautiful day!” If we didn't get up right away,he would hit the end of our beds with his cane.
Once when we (be) in a store,he found the three of us in the makeup department.When he was (tell) that we wanted to buy some makeup,he picked up a bottle and started reading the label out loud.“‘Leaves your skin soft and silky from head to toe.' Well,that leaves half of me out,” he said,laughing (delight).We had to laugh,too.He had a talent for (find) humor in everything he did.
Our father has been gone for a long time now, we still remember the lesson that he taught us:You are only as disabled as you let yourself be.
