A story of being hurt: The child's father fell ill and was hospitalized. The mother took the very young child to the hospital to take care of him. To comfort the child, the mother bought a McDonald's fried chicken, which she normally wouldn't let the child eat. As the child ate, he asked his mother, "When will Dad get sick again?" What truly makes people sad is that when the mother heard this, her heart might have been pierced in an instant. Because she clearly knew that the "gentle moments" the child enjoyed were built on the pain the family was enduring. In fact, neither the child nor the mother was at fault; but reality remains heartbreaking. Adults strive to protect their children through hardships, while children can only remember that time with happiness.
