The author comes from a poor family and has suffered all kinds of misfortunes since he was a child. He lost his mother at a young age, and his stepfather was a terrible person, and his verbal humiliation, abandonment and abuse almost completely made him lose hope in life.
Just when he was at his most desperate, a long-lost relative broke into his life.
His uncle, his father's brother, had been working in the field for many years, but he had been secretly watching his nephew's situation.
Seeing that he was being abused, the uncle resolutely decided to take over his custody and finally took him away by all means, opening a new chapter in his life.
In his uncle's home, he experienced the warmth of home for the first time. Uncle and aunt treat him as their own son and care for his daily life in every detail.
With the care of his family, his heart gradually opened up and regained his hopes and dreams for the future.
This time at the uncle's house has become the warmest and most precious memory in his life. The aunt was always careful to check whether he was asleep, for fear that he would be disturbed in the slightest.
My cousin even took the initiative to give up the opportunity to study at university far from home, just to create a stable learning environment for him.
These little things that don't look amazing are deeply imprinted on his heart. He begins to realize how precious his family's love is, and is determined to repay them with his efforts.
Since then, he has been eager to study, hoping that he can change his family's circumstances.
After graduating from college, he found a good job as he wished, and saved part of his salary every month to remit it to his uncle's family to do his part.
When it was time for him to get married, his aunt took out all the money he had sent back over the years and said that it would be used as his dowry.
At that moment, he could barely cry. All the hardships and dedication are condensed into eternal family affection at this moment.
Many years later, when he received the bad news that his uncle was hospitalized, he rushed to his wife overnight without saying a word.
When approaching the ward, he overheard the conversation between the uncle and the aunt, and the uncle was still worried about the safety of his career. This selfless love made him so touched that he couldn't do more.
At that moment, he was determined to take a long leave of absence for his uncle and take care of him wholeheartedly. Although the company leaders were a little unhappy, they were finally moved by his sincerity.
Since then, he has devoted himself to taking care of his uncle's daily life, accompanying him, and repaying his kindness over the years with practical actions.
During the days when I took care of my uncle in the hospital, I gained unprecedented peace and satisfaction in my heart.
Every day, I will carefully do some simple care for my uncle, feed him water, pat him on the back, change clothes, etc. These little things, which I once took for granted, have now become the best way for me to express my heart.
My aunt always taught me all kinds of nursing skills and precautions, for fear that I would hurt my uncle if I didn't operate properly.
Sometimes my uncle would be depressed because of physical exhaustion, and I would sit on the edge of the bed and tell him some interesting stories to amuse him.
When the uncle listens to those past events, a happy smile always appears on his face, as if he has suddenly returned to his youthful years.
Occasionally, he would tell us something about his youth, which would make us laugh. At such a time, the haze of illness was instantly put aside, and the whole ward was filled with a peaceful and warm atmosphere.
Once, my aunt brought me one of my favorite home-cooked dishes. Even though I've been eating food in the hospital for months, the familiar taste still makes me feel excited. It was the taste of home, and that was the happiest memory of my childhood.
I couldn't help but redden, and my uncle and aunt saw it in my eyes, but they didn't make any comments, just silently encouraged me to eat more. They used the most rustic way to convey the warmth of home to me.
In the process of getting along day after day, I have come to a better understanding of what it means to be at home. Home is not only blood, but also selfless love and protection.
It's like my uncle's family used to take care of me, and now I'm just reciprocating in another form.
With their support, I was able to devote myself to my work without any worries. That's why I've been able to achieve success in my career. And everything today stems from the patience and careful cultivation they gave me when they were young.
I often wonder if my uncle hadn't suddenly appeared in my life, would I have sunk like this, lost in the darkness of despair forever?
It was they who pulled me out with pure love and rekindled my hopes and dreams for life.
My uncle's family taught me with practical actions that the most precious thing in life is not money and status, but selfless love and protection.
As long as our hearts are surrounded by love, they will eventually be indestructible.
There are always highs and lows in life, and relatives are our most solid support. When we're at a low point, they reach out and pull us along.
When we achieve something, they cheer and bless us. This is the power of family affection, which warms the life journey of each of us.
The road of life has a go and a return, and family affection is our eternal home. No matter how far we go, it will always be our last safe haven.
This strong friendship from the blood will always warm the hearts of each of us.
