After the accident, Dad was reluctant to play the mandolin. When I came home on leave and asked him to play he would make excuses for why he couldn?t play. Eventually, we would wear him down and he would say “Okay, but remember, I can?t hold down on the strings the way I used to. ” or “Since the accident to this finger I can?t play as good. ” For the family it didn?t make any difference that Dad couldn?t play as well. We were just glad that he would play.

　　In August of 1993 my father was diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.

　　He chose not to receive chemotherapy (化疗) treatments so that he could live out the rest of his life in dignity.About a week before his death, we asked Dad if he would play the mandolin for us. He made excuses but said “okay”. He knew it would probably be the last time he would play for us. He tuned up the old mandolin and played a few notes. We felt at the time that he wouldn?t have enough strength to play, and that makes the memory of that day even stronger. As sick as he was, he was still pleasing others. Dad sure could play that Mandolin!
