我爸的那把破旧吉他和他的梦想
讲一个人物故事,从小到大的记忆中,总有一些细节能够触动心弦,让人回味无穷。今天,我要讲的是关于我爸和他那把破旧吉他的故事。
我的父亲,在我们家的孩子眼里,是个不折不扣的“老顽童”。他总是穿着一件褪色得差点儿透明的T恤,一条破洞满目的牛仔裤,脚上还套着一双又大又黑的皮鞋。他总是头发乱糟糟的,脸上布满了胡茬,但每当夜幕降临,他就会换上一副温柔的面孔,用最朴素的一件衣服去陪伴我们的母亲。
但在我们家人的记忆中,还有另一个形象,那就是父亲弹奏吉他的时候。那是一把看似废弃已久的小提琴样的乐器,只不过它没有琴弦,而是我爸用铁丝编织而成的一串串粗犷的手工琴弦。每当周末或者放假时,我们全家都会围坐在客厅中央,看着那个身影轻轻地拨动那些稀奇古怪的声音源泉。
父亲告诉我们,这把吉他曾经 belonged to his favorite rock star, who had played it on stage many times. But after the musician's passing, the guitar was left in a thrift store for years before my dad found and bought it. He said that every time he held the instrument in his hands, he could feel the energy of those performances.
The strings were made from iron wire by my father himself. He would spend hours each day plucking and strumming them with a homemade pick, creating an unique sound that echoed through our small apartment building.
My siblings and I would sit around him as he played his "guitar," mesmerized by the way he seemed to transport himself into another world. His fingers danced across the wires with a grace that belied their rough texture.
As we grew older, we began to appreciate not just the music but also my father's dedication to his craft. He never sought fame or fortune; all he wanted was for us to hear him play one more time before we went off to college.
One evening when I came back home from university during summer break, I saw my father sitting on the couch with tears streaming down his face. The room was dimly lit because of some power outage outside but suddenly there was light coming from behind me - it was you! You're here!
I turned around and saw you standing there with your guitar case slung over your shoulder and a huge smile on your face! My heart skipped several beats as you walked towards me saying "Hey man!"
You took out this old guitar from its case - same one Dad used to have! And then something incredible happened... As if fate had brought us together again after all these years!
Dad looked up at us both in awe while wiping away those tears from earlier moments ago; so did I & my siblings too! It felt like our hearts were beating as one now...
That night under candlelight (due to power failure), three generations of men sat together playing guitars side by side - two broken instruments mended together by love & passion making beautiful harmony filling up our humble abode once more...
And even though life took us far apart eventually but what remains is this precious memory which will forever be etched within our souls like stars shining brightly across vast expanse of sky above...
This is how stories come alive – through shared experiences & memories intertwined among family members – telling tales about dreams realized or unfulfilled ones hidden deep inside hearts waiting patiently for someone else’s hand touch upon theirs turning pages into new chapters filled hopefulness & joyous laughter echoing through halls where they once stood silent long forgotten yet cherished still today tomorrow always...
