Seven years ago,my wife told our 6-year-old daughter about our wedding weekend.My wife had moved back home to spend the weekend with her family.
As I was tucking our daughter in later that night,she asked if she could come home like Mommy did when she got married one day.(Hopefully,one day far off into the future...)I told her our house would always be open to her.She gave me a big hug and a kiss on the cheek.She was extremely happy.
After a few seconds,I could see her mind churning(思绪翻腾)—the happiness dissipated.She pushed her finger onto my belly and told me in low spirits,“Your belly is too big and you are too fat.I don't know if you are going to make it.”
I was shocked.It was true that my health had fallen into a huge decline in the previous five years as I was developing my business.I had not thought of it as destroying a future with my family.A 6-year-old girl saw what I missed.
I decided to run a mile the next morning.I couldn't make it 1/4 mile.I didn't give up and went out the next morning.
Seven years later,I have lost 60 pounds and regularly run ultra marathons.I attempted my first 100 miles last August,but I missed the terminal point at mile 87 after running on a torn hamstring(腘绳肌腱撕裂) for the previous 79 miles.
Yet,the most important distance I will ever go will be walking her down the aisle one day.I would not make it if it hadn't been for the honesty and innocence of a 6-year-old girl.
