    多年前,父親被確診為心臟病晚期。他將永久地失去勞動能力,不能再從事穩定的工作。雖然父親有時還不錯,但一會兒就可能突然發病,不得不送去醫院。

    父親閒不住,想找點什麼事情做。於是他決定去當地兒童醫院做義工。父親喜歡孩子,對他來說,這是份不錯的工作。後來,父親被安排去照看那些重症晚期的孩子。他陪孩子們聊天,和他們一起玩耍、做手工。有時,他照顧的孩子中會有人死去。在某種情況下,他會告訴那些悲傷的父母,他很快就會去天堂陪伴孩子們的。在父母沒去天堂之前,他會好好照看他們的孩子。他還會問這些父母,是否要讓他給孩子帶個口信。父親的擔保似乎減輕了父母們的憂傷。

    父親照顧的孩子中,有一個女孩的病情十分罕見。她的身體從脖子以下全部是癱瘓的。我不太清楚這種病的名稱,也不知道通常會怎樣醫治。但我知道,對於一個八九歲的小女孩來說,患這種病會有多麼痛苦。她什麼都做不了,顯得很沮喪。父親決定嘗試著去幫助她。他開始去她的病房探望她,去的時候還帶著塗料、畫筆和紙。父親把紙固定在襯背上,把筆放在嘴裡,就開始畫畫了。畫畫的時候,他根本不用手,只是移動自己的頭。一有時間,父親就會去探望她,給她畫畫。他還常常告訴小女孩:「世上無難事,只怕有心人。」

    後來,小女孩也開始學著用嘴畫畫,她和父親成了好朋友。沒過多久,小女孩出院了,因為醫生對她的病已無能為力。而父親卻因病暫時離開了兒童醫院。就在父親身體復原回到醫院工作後不久,在醫院大廳的志願者櫃檯前,父親看到前門開了,進來的正是那個曾經全身癱瘓的女孩,而這次她是走進來的。女孩徑直跑到父親面前,緊緊地擁抱了父親一下。她把一張自己親手畫的畫兒送給了父親。畫的下方寫著:「謝謝您幫我學走路!」

    每當講到這個故事,父親都會落淚,我們也是如此。父親告訴我們,有時愛的力量要勝過醫生的醫術。就在小女孩送給他畫的幾個月後,父親去世了。他深愛著醫院的每一個孩子。
