你认为最好的遗产是什么呢?是金钱还是房产?看了本文你就会这个问题有进一步的理解。
As a young man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons. One night, his oldest son developed a severe stomachache. Thinking it was only some common intestinal disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously. But the malady was actually acute appendicitis, and the boy died suddenly that night.
Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the seriousness of the situation, Als emotional health deteriorated under the enormous burden of his guilt. To make matters worse his wife left him a short time later, leaving him alone with his six-year-old younger son. The hurt and pain of the two situations were more than Al could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him cope. In time Al became an alcoholic.

As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he possessed his home, his land, his art objects, everything. Eventually Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.
When I heard of Als death, I reacted with the same disdain the world shows for one who ends his life with nothing material to show for it. What a complete failure! I thought. What a totally wasted life
As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier harsh judgment. You see, I knew Als now adult son, Ernie. He is one of the kindest, most caring, most loving men I have ever known. I watched Ernie with his children and saw the free flow of love between them. I knew that kindness and caring had to come from somewhere.
Notealcoholism:酒精中毒,酒瘾motel:汽车旅馆disdain:轻蔑
I hadnt heard Ernie talk much about his father. It is so hard to defend an alcoholic. One day I worked up my courage to ask him. m really puzzled by something, I said. I know your father was basically the only one to raise you. What on earth did he do that you became such a special person?
Ernie sat quietly and reflected for a few moments. Then he said, From my earliest memories as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, I love you, son.
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure. He had not left any material possessions behind. But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.
