Having read the diary, the son was lost in deep thought. Holding the diary tightly, he began to recall the past days. No matter what he did, his father never felt annoyed or impatient but always wore a bright smile. Besides, never did his father lose his temper with him whatever mistakes he made. But now what he had done had hurt his father deeply. Feeling extremely ashamed and regretful, he decided to make an apology to his father. Looking at his father’s weather-beaten (饱经风霜的) face, the son couldn’t control himself with guilty tears rolling down. “I’m sorry, father. Please forgive me”, he said, hanging his head.
After the son said sorry to his father sincerely, something different happened in the family. The son never shouted at his father but treated him with a gentle and patient attitude. More importantly, the son began to spare more time to keep company with his father, bringing their relationship closer and closer. The family was full of laughter and happiness. Whenever he saw his father’s face twinkling with pleasure, the son’s face also lighted up. So keep in mind that we should treasure our parents as we were treasured in childhood.
