Question

18．My father was attached to gardening by birth．One of my earliest memories is following：Dad barefoot around in the garden with both hands blackened from digging in the soil．The garden was a wonderland full of possibilities．
As Dad grew older，he still loved gardening．Even when he was diagnosed with cancer，he still planted all sorts of plants．Sometimes，I would come over to visit，and we would walk together in the garden．But then，something changed．Like the weeds that took over his garden，the cancer grew rapidly in Dad，and the doctor gave up．I stayed with Dad twenty-four hours a day and I found myself in all kinds of uncomfortable situations with Dad until I promised to care for the garden．
Though I had heard the words of the doctor，what really made me believe that Dad was dying was the state of his garden．That year，he only planted tomatoes．Too tired to weed them，he simply tied them with strong strings to the fence and let them be．It made me sad to see them ignored，so I would come over and water them once in a while，and remove the weeds．I still remember the day when I picked the last tomato from the vine（藤）．That day was one of the saddest I had ever experienced in my life．
Three years ago，I decided to plant my own garden．I decided I would start out with just a few tomatoes．That morning when I moved to the garden，something caught the corner of my eye and I had to smile．It was my eight-year-old son Nathan，standing barefoot in the soil，happily playing in soil．
