父亲是我的英雄,在我一生当中都是如此。作为八个孩子的父亲,他明白自己肩上的担子。

随着岁月的流逝,他日渐衰老,但他的力量让他保持精力充沛。加上坚定的决心,让我体弱多病的母亲得到她需要的照顾依然活着。

他爱她和他的孩子,他把生命中的大部分岁月,放在照顾这位女人,他心心相印的伴侣,他的妻子身上。

多少个日日夜夜他与她的病魔进行抗争。如果换成不够坚强的男人早已认命了。虽然他自己有病,但他仍然坚守在她的身边,照顾她,爱护她,直到她去世的那一天。

二十天后他也走到了生命的尽头。我失去了我的英雄,我的父亲,我的朋友。

A few years have passed, and life just isnt the same. But as Fathers Day approaches, I will celebrate his name. With prayers to him and God above to stay by my side, to watch over me and guide me, to look down on me with pride.

For I am my fathers daughter, one day we will meet again. But until then I will remember, and the love will never end.

一晃几年过去了,生活已是别样风景。但在父亲节到来之际,我要歌颂他的美名。祈祷他和上帝能陪伴我,看护我,指引我,自豪地看着我。

因为我是父亲的女儿,我们将在某一天会重逢。但我会怀念他,永远爱他,直到我们重逢的那一天。

在女儿心中,父亲就是英雄,他有无穷的力量,无所不能。父亲用自己完美的人格,抒写人生平凡却伟大的乐章,带给人精神上的无限震撼。爱心和责任,始终照亮着父亲的人生路途,他用坚忍和毅力担当起家庭的重任,文中的这位父亲不愧为英雄,因为他在孩子的眼中铸就了一种永恒的象征。
