           complemented me for having the internal for-
           titude to live with my in-laws. I often just                  多年來，許多人都讚賞我內心的毅力
           sheepishly accept their complements. But              能與我的岳父一起生活。我經常只是羞怯地

           something I will take with me forever. He truly       通過與帕金森的戰鬥向我展示了他堅定不
           lived by the word of God and the examples
           set by Jesus.                                         移的信念，這是我將永遠無法忘記的。 他真
