Be good for me, Dad will you?

There is one type of film that is my weakness, that is, about the relationship between father and daughter. So when I watched I am Sam I almost cried from beginning to end. So when I saw the synopsis of this film, I knew I couldn't resist.
A lonely old man eagerly and excitedly waited for the children to come home. He even bought an oven and bought the best steak and red wine, but he didn't expect a single child. Then, despite the doctor's orders, he insisted on embarking on a journey, New York, Chicago, Denver, Las Vegas, relying entirely on trains and buses, visiting his children one by one.

Seeing him waiting on the stone steps downstairs for my son to fall asleep, I remembered that I had let my father wait for me at the station against the cold wind. I know he will arrive that day, and I am still at work, so I can't pick up the plane. I let him take the airport bus alone, and I went to pick him up at the bus stop. When I got off work, there was something that delayed the meeting. I received a text message from him and knew that my father was here, but I still asked him to wait for me at the station for more than an hour. How important is it actually? I remember my dad sitting all alone on his suitcase when I arrived, and I said sorry and regretted.

The son didn't come back, he went to a cafe and met a father who was 94 years older. The old man said, I have 3 children and 6 grandchildren. They are all too busy to talk to me. I see them need an appointment. They sometimes get lost and don't seem to need anyone. Yes, we are very busy, and it seems that we are always busy. Every day MSN is busy as soon as it goes online. When I see friends and customers asking how they are doing recently, the word "busy" is always used. But how busy are you and what are you busy with? No matter how busy you are, you can make time for your family. My father asked me to send a text message every day, especially when I was on a business trip, he wanted to know where I was and whether it was safe. But I can't. It's not that I don't have time, it's just laziness.

The old man waited all night and knocked on the door the next day, but his son was still not at home. He had to leave a strip to put it in through the crack of the door, I wanted to surprise you. But you weren't home. I'll call you later. Love Dad
The old man continued his lonely journey alone, eating fast food McDonald's, watching entertainment programs in a cafe and giggling alone, which made people feel sad. At the eldest daughter's house, the daughter is finally at home, but she is very surprised. Dad, why are you here? Dad said, Everyone doesn't show up for the visit. So I say "You don't come to me, so I'm gonna go to you."
During the visit, the father noticed something was wrong, and the daughter didn't want him to stay for a long time. He left the next day. The daughter who has a successful career is always very busy. On the way to take her father to the station, she has to go back to the company to handle official business.
Before leaving, the father asked his daughter Are you happy?
Yeah, of course I am.
Good, good girl! A happy one, first one on my list.

As a father, I just want my children to be healthy and happy. The daughter actually had a broken family, but she couldn't bear to tell him, tell the good news and spare the bad. On the contrary, I have never been a child who reported good news and not bad news. From childhood to adulthood, I never let my father feel relieved. When I was sick and uncomfortable, I would tell him the first one, regardless of how distressed or worried he would be. I only care about venting my emotions, I just want to feel his unreserved care and love, make every decision willfully, and he always understands and supports him unconditionally.

Children used to call home to talk to their mother. Now that mom's gone, they don't call. The old man said, Keep calling next time. The number is still the same and I'm still on the other end.
He was a strict father who, like most Chinese parents, wanted his son to become a dragon and his daughter to become a phoenix. He was just an ordinary electrician all his life, and hoped that his sons and daughters would have great achievements. When you guys came along, things were different, there were oppurtunities. what kind of father would I have been if I haven't pushed you? All I really want to do is to be a good father, that's all. Only to
find the child The estrangement between them and him was getting deeper and deeper, and they didn't tell him anything. The biggest blow was the death of their youngest son's drug use. So he began to reflect. At the end of the film, he said I know if I could do it all over again, I would have asked less of the kids. As long as they were happy, that would be fine with me. I know I should stop thinking them as if they were still children, you can't tell them what to do anymore, they have to find their own way. Be proud of them no matter what they do.

The whole time I watched this movie, I thought about my dad all the time . I'm not a good daughter, but he's definitely a good dad. I'll be good, just for you! I also hope you, Dad, take good care of your daughter! We have many, many years to come, and I need your presence at all the important moments in my life, or my life will not be complete.
