My father returned to his hometown yesterday afternoon after spending two months with my daughter.He was here due to nobody was with my daughter at daytime in summer vacation.
I should have driven him to the railway station as I was free on weekend. But I did not go as my father insisted on going there by himself. He said he had no problem to go there and He can handle it .I was so easily persuaded by him and give up .I don't know why. I usually send my mother to railway station or give my brother a ride to airport when they were in shanghai .I don't know why .Is it because He is a person who is very stricted. seldom smile and not too much word? I grew up under his strict supervision. I was afraid of him when I was young. It seems there is sth lack between us.
I asked a taxi for him and tried to give him taxi fee .He refused to take it and threw it out of the car window.I felt so upset upon seeing the taxi leaving. The image of my father takes up my mind suddenly . a wrinkled face , a slightly-bent back. a not handsome any more but rather kind father.
He was ever a headmaster of united middle school, managing hundreds of teachers and thousands of students.He seldom got time to exchange feeling with us except he required us to behave well. He experienced ups and downs .
He is not a happy person. I tried to call him once a week .I sometimes got the feeling that I don't know what to say . He always answered like "why you call me , I am fine. " . I failed to figure out his feeling. or properly say. In recent years , I did not have time to notice that besides that I see him getting elder and elder.thinner and thinner.
He is not a person who know how to take care of people.But he came to shanghai and helped me to look after my daugher. How grateful I should be for that selfishless sacrifice ? He tried to cook sth we like.He tried sth new by chaning the recipe . He prepared fruit every moring for me and put it into my bag. He washed our cloth and have them tidied well, He was actually a bit manlism .Not like what he behaves now is like a lovey mom without too much words.What changed him? or nothing has been changed .Love is sth speechless
It is love We seldom realize until oneday It is too late ro realize. I hope It is still not too late
