who pride him conversation deal buy seldom make several clearly |
I remember when I was a little girl, my dad often asked me to hold the hammer ( 锤 子 ) when he was repairing something, so we would have a conversation. My dad had a night out. What he did after work was just to take care of us. When my classmates complained (抱怨) they couldn 't see their fathers often, I felt quite of it.
He used to with family chores as soon as he finished work. I grew up and left home for college. My dad would call me every Sunday morning. And years later, I bought a house. My dad used to stay in his old house by . I was too busy to find any time to see him.
One day four years ago, my dad visited me. He spent many hours a swing chair for my daughter. He asked me to bring him a cup of tea and have a with him, but I had to prepare for a trip, so I failed to find time again.
One Sunday morning, we had a telephone talk, but I noticed that he couldn 't remember something we discussed . I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. A few hours later came a call. My father was in a hospital with an aneurysm (动脉瘤). I a plane ticket quickly and on my way I was thinking about all my absence when he needed me.
By the time I arrived at the hospital, my father had passed away. The man liked talking would keep silent forever. Until then I realized how little I knew about my dad. All he ever asked
was just my time.
