「家裡只有他能一口氣把純淨水桶扛上飲水機。只有他懂得怎麼令不見了圖象的電視機恢復原樣。只有他知道從某某路到某某路應該怎麼走。只有他能說出國慶閱兵式上的這個是什麼彈，那個是什麼炮。」
「他修習了水管不再堵塞的魔法，他記住所有危險情況下的急救措施，他必須在任何人都感覺失落和絕望的時候依然做最後的支柱，決無動搖，決無遲疑。」

It might seem like your dad will be around forever, but your time together can be cut short when you least expect it. Take advantage of the time you have with your father. Expressions of love are not always easy.They often take conscious effort.
有時候看上去你的父親會永遠陪在你身邊，但當你不經意的時候，你們在一起的時候被縮短了。好好把握與你父親在一起的時光吧。表達愛有時候並不容易，它們往往需要刻意的努力。
1. Say the words,"I love you."
說出那句「我愛你。」
Maybe this phrase was not used much in your home, so it could be tough to utter at first. In that case, it's possible your father won't be able to return the sentiment. Don't take it personally. The main issue is not to have regrets. Let your dad know what you admire about him and why you're proud. Don't take for granted that he knows.
可能這句話在你家裡並不會經常使用，所以一開始說出話可能會比較艱難。在這種情況下，可能你的父親也不會回應相應地情緒。但請不要在意，主要考慮的是不要留有遺憾。請讓你的父親知道你欣賞他的地方和你因他而自豪的理由，不要理所當然地以為他都知道。
2. Seek your father's advice and opinions.
尋求你父親的建議和意見。
This applies from childhood to adulthood. He'll be pleased that you want his guidance. Listen to him. You don't always have to agree, but he will be flattered that you asked.
這一條適用於從童年到成年的時光。如果你尋求他的建議指導，他會很高興。請聽聽他的建議，你不一定總是要同意，但你問他的話他會受寵若驚。
3. Invite your dad into your life.
邀請父親進入你的生活。
Introduce him to your friends. Once you leave the nest, welcome him into your new home. When you marry and have children, include your father in many of your family functions.
把他介紹給你的朋友們。一旦你離開家，請歡迎他加入你的新家。當你結婚和有了小孩時，要把你的父親當作是你家庭的一部分。
4. Arrange activities strictly for you and your dad.
為你和你的父親特別安排好活動。
Even if it's an activity you might not fully enjoy, share his interests. Let him teach you to play golf or a card game. Take him to dinner, or join him in outings with friends and family.
即使可能是一個你完全不喜歡的活動，但請你分享他的愛好。讓他教你打高爾夫或是橋牌遊戲。帶他去吃飯，或是和他一起與你的朋友和家人去郊遊。
5. Visit your father on a regular basis.
定期地去拜訪你的父親。
Stop and pick up a cup of coffee to take to him as a surprise treat. Don't' wait for his birthday or Father's Day to buy him thoughtful little gifts.
放下手上的事情，拿起一杯咖啡去見你的父親給他個驚喜。不要等到他的生日或是父親節才給他買個深思熟慮的小禮物去見他。
6. Inquire about your dad's life.
多打聽你父親的生活。
Ask him to tell you his "old stories" and record them. He will be proud that you care so much, and as a result, you will learn a lot about his childhood and your heritage.
請求他給你講他以前的故事並記錄下來。他會因為你關心他而感到很驕傲，並且你也可以了解更多的關於他童年和你的祖輩的事情。
7. Assist your father as he ages.
隨著他年齡增長，你要多幫助他。
Don't treat him like a child. Be patient and understanding. Make sure he can meet his personal care and medicinal needs. Help him with his finances, if possible. Take the time to let him know you'll always be there.
不要把他當成個小孩子，要耐心和多理解他。確保他能得到個人護理和藥物需求。如果可以的話，在經濟方面也多幫助他。多花些時間讓他知道你永遠都在他身邊。
