I have been waiting for you to come back

I still remember that every time I went to my relatives, I was always talked about by them who had haunted my dad when I was young.

The absurdity lies in the fact that after nearly two decades of getting along, the two of us are still bored with each other.

Well, maybe I am tired of him.

I don’t know if it’s like this. He passed middle age and then followed a strong menopause. His extreme and radicalism seemed to endure for more than forty years and then broke out. Obviously maybe it can be content. When I was young, my family moved from a small city to the city I dreamed of. I had a job with a high income and I didn't get bored. After all, I realized most of my dream back then. The home is not big, but it is very warm and comfortable. There are good confidants and relatives who take good care of us. At least this kind of wandering life does not always feel lonely.
I still remember that sentence, this peace of mind is my hometown.
I felt that in such a life, my father should also be content and at ease.

But no, Dad is like Jack in the dream in the story, career, life, material, I don't know when it seems that nothing is enough.
The once vigorous self-confidence eyebrows have fallen from the loneliness of the years, but they began to talk about his sudden awakening ambitions. I kept talking about the decision if I was at the bridge of the year, and I was saying that maybe no matter how hard I tried my career, I could go up to the next level. Saying he has money, he can buy a big house instead of having a family crowded in the small and ruined two-bedroom and one-living room in the urban area.
Then, he finally squeezed the original father away.
There is no weekend when a family goes out to play, there is no Mid-Autumn Festival dinner that is very lively together, there is no walk around the lake after dinner every day, and the delicious soup he burned when he was young to make original fish balls. His lofty ambition was wiped out on his face, but he appeared in the chattering mouth that seemed to be wound up.
Anxiety, restlessness, unrealistic whimsical. These dark shadows entangled him tighter and tighter, and they almost forced us to breathe.

In fact, life is a very simple thing to think of, and mediocrity can only be so many years of cold autumn.

Life is obviously petty bourgeoisie and sentimental, a big meal together, an outing for the whole family, an unexpected anniversary surprise, and then the usual noisy, lively and lively, although sometimes the market can make people Sweet as sweet.
The most memorable thing in life is the clouds of fame and fortune, or the happiness that comes from the sporadic small touches in the turmoil of personnel? Even if there are high-ranking officials, how to stay alone for a lifetime in an empty mansion, it is better to squeeze in a small snail house together with the cherished people to accompany you as you grow old.
Such a simple truth, he has already walked halfway in the corridor of life, why hasn't he understood it?

Maybe it is. If it exists, he never met his mother and was not tired of our family. Instead, he went to another direction of life, a mansion, fame and success, but he was alone.
Then, is he really content?

Or, should I be like the little daughter in the story, and ask him, my father, will he come back?

    This woman is extraordinary, stunning in every way. She is a person who loves regret very much. If you don't quit what if, life will be difficult to move forward.

The Family Man quotes

  • Kate: [Kate is sitting at a table working on her laptop and eating some chocolate cake when Jack arrives home] Hi honey. How was the game?

    Jack: Long, boring, and generally pretty sad. Arnie seemed to enjoy it. Sorta.

    [he opens up the refrigerator and looks inside]

    Jack: Hey where's that chocolate cake?

    Kate: [Kate looks at her plate and back at Jack] Do you mean this chocolate cake?

    Jack: [Jack looks at her and shuts the fridge door. He starts walking to her] That's my piece. I was saving it because I got nauseated by that pre-cooked mini-mall rotisserie chicken.

    Kate: [eating the cake in a mocking manner] Mmm. Mmm. It's good.

    Jack: [points at the cake] Gimme that cake.

    Kate: No way!

    [He makes a move to reach for it, but she pulls the plate further away]

    Jack: Come on.

    Kate: I'm sorry. It's too important to me.

    [Jack pauses for a moment before quickly reaching for the cake, but Kate quickly grabs the plate and jumps out of her chair, causing Jack to chase her. She playfully leads him into the next room while laughing]

    Jack: [Jack surprises her around the next corner by cutting her off and shouting/singing] Ta-daah!

    [she playfully runs to the staircase where she lies facing up at him]

    Jack: I want that cake!

    Kate: [laughing] You want this cake?

    Jack: [playing along] I want it!

    [she smashes the cake on his lower face while laughing]

    Jack: Thank you.

    [He smiles with cake all over his mouth and chin]
