Yesterday is my father's birthday, however, I didn't give him a call and said happy birthday to him. It is not that I forgot it totally. On the contrary, I remembered the special day several times yesterday.
Last weekend, when I was taking the metro, my elder sitster called me and informed me that after two days, it is our father's birthday, and she asked me whether I still have memory on it. I made quick response and said," of course. I remember it."
Yesterday is the day, I don't know whether my father had been waiting for my phone or not yesterday, and whether my family members said I am not a filial daughter. There are four times I desired to dial my home telephone number, however, I have no real action eventually. I turned off my phone early last night.
I still clearly remembered last time, on my father's birthday day, I called home, we just chated a few words on the phone. I said," 爸，今天是你的生日，祝你生日快乐，今天准备了什么好吃的啊？"
(My dear father, today is your birthday, happy birthday to you, and what delicious dishes did you prepare for dinner?") My father replied,'' 没准备什么好吃的，每天都过得一样."( We lived the same everyday, no special dishes are prepared) Yeah, after we moved away from village, we did lead a good life. We could enjoy delicious dishes each meal.
Last night, I thought over and over again, I still failed to think about what to say. I love my father, although I didn't give him a call, I still wish he had a happy birthday in my heart again and again.
To be honest, my father and I have few words all the time. Everytime I would like to chat with him for long, however, he always worries I spend so much on the phone conversation. Anyway, I know I have to be a filial daughther, I have to listen to his words, never make him sad, and couldn't do anything against him.
I here wish my parents are in good healthy and grin all the time.

- Love can be expressed in many different ways, not only by words. Chinese people are usually indirect, too shy to reveal feelings. But if you do love your father, he can feel it no matter if you tell him or not.

- You can buy your father a birthday present and mail to him, such as a sweater, a coat or a belt. In this way, you can express yor love and you do not have to say anything.

- Actions speak louder than words. What if your father buys you something gift, will you feel happy? I'm sure you will be happy to receive the present from your ralatives, because it carries love inside the gift. No expensive gift, just some small and thoughtful gift is ok, tea, wrap, hat and something like that to show your heart, i'm sure they will be moved and happy to know your mind.
