Question

We always celebrated Dad's birthday on Thanksgiving Day. even afier he stayed in a nursing home（疗养院）. When we knew it might be his last birthday, the whole family decided to have a big birthday celebration at the nursing home.

Dad was a good storyteller. But this time I told Dad to listen to some stories for a change. One after another, people told stories from their hearts (内心)， while Dad listened with tears (眼泪) in eyes. People thought of kinds of stories-stories about when they were little, stories about when Dad was young.

Everyone seemed to have more than one story. Even the little grandchildren couldn't wait to tell Dad why they loved him. For a man who was kind to so many hundreds of people in his life, here was a change to tell him how much we love him. A few months later, at Dad's memorial service (追悼会), we fully knew what we gave to Dad that night. Those are the stories people usually tell at a funeral (葬礼) after his or her death (死亡). They tell stories, full of tears. But we gave those memories（回忆） to Dad in his life, and we told them through laughter with hugs and joy. He had them to hold and enjoyed them from time to time in his heart during his last days and months.

That's the ways to give back love and that's our chance（机会） to celebrate a person in his or her life.
