Good Wood
- My parents completed 29 years of marriage in June, They always danced that day to celebrate, but today my father can no longer stand up.
- My mom came into the room and put on the music they liked the most and danced
- She said, “My son, bring the wheelchair.”
- I asked, “What are you gonna do?” “.
What your father would do for me if it were the other way around.
- My mom put my dad in the chair, she kneeled down next to him and said “let’s dance”, my dad crying said how? She hugged my dad and spun the chair, kneeling down to all the music.
- After seeing that scene I returned to my room with flooded eyes, and aware that I had learned what true love was.

She was staring at me and suddenly moved her lips to say two words. She said, “I love you.” Then I realized that it was the first time she said it to me, moreover, it was the very first time she said this to anyone.
“Until now I hadn’t told you,” she whispered, “not because I didn’t want you, but because I didn’t know why I wanted you.” Now I know.”
“Now I know. I don’t love you for your face, or for your years, or for your words, or for your intentions. I love you because you are made of good wood”
