082 Regret not being at the beginning

Originally, after lunch and a nap, my parents were ready to go back to their hometown. But how can we bear the pain of our father, who has not recovered to a full state, to endure the continuous fatigue of traveling? After our persuasion, my parents finally agreed to our reasonable request to rest in the city for a night.

That night, my father took a hot bath. It reminds me of my father's bathing here before the operation. Last time, my father always thought that the water temperature was low, but when we took a shower, he felt that the water temperature was okay, and it didn't feel cold at all. If the water is cold, then I can turn up the temperature of the water heater in time. However, my father's answer has always been "The water temperature is okay, not cold!" "Later, when we took a shower, we also felt that the water temperature was just right. The significant changes before and after my father's surgery show that my father's constitution is much stronger now than it was then. This made me even more confident in my father's recovery.

The next morning, I dropped my parents off on the bus before returning home with some reluctance.

It is precisely because of the good examination results that I have greatly reduced the vigilance in my heart, so that I will be more comfortable with my wife and children in the city, and I will do all the logistics for my wife who is nervously studying for the exam.

The results of the second review remained positive. On the Saturday after the second review, I went to Nanjing with my wife and children safely. Because, my wife's exam is on Sunday. We still haven't been back to our hometown this weekend. In fact, it was a very special Sunday.

At that time, all I thought about was my wife's exam, and I didn't realize the special nature of that Sunday. Later, I finally learned that it was the annual "Father's Day"! This is the last "Father's Day" in my father's life! But it was on such a festival of profound significance to my father that I was far away in Nanjing; It was my father's last "Father's Day" that I didn't even make a phone call. I regret it! I hate myself for being so careless! I hated myself for not knowing it was Father's Day! Even if you accompany your wife to Nanjing for the exam, it's not too much to call your father to say "happy holidays", right? It's a pity that I didn't do anything! On that day, I didn't even do anything! Every time I think about it, I feel the urge to slap my ear scraper. If I could do it all over again by "pumping" myself, then I would definitely whip myself like a "dead pig's head" without hesitation! Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back. No amount of remorse I may have made up for my carelessness.

"Father's Day", as the name suggests, is a holiday to give thanks to fathers. This festival originated in the United States, in fact, not many Chinese have this festival. Perhaps, my father didn't even know there was such a holiday. But whether my father knows it or not, it is not a bad thing to get together with my father on this special day and let him feel our admiration. What's more, the current father is still enduring the unbearable physical and mental torment of ordinary people? I think that on this very special holiday, the true feelings of those of us as children will definitely make the spirit of the father very happy. Regardless of whether this kind of mental happiness is helpful to the father after the operation, just "making the father happy" is definitely a thing that makes people feel extremely happy. However, when I was supposed to let my father feel warm and affectionate, I was far away in Nanjing. And what's even more excessive is that I didn't even know that it was Father's Day, and I couldn't even make a phone call to say blessings for such a trivial thing! Hate, I really hate myself!

If I had known that it was my father's last "Father's Day", then I would not have let my wife go to Nanjing to take the exam anyway. We're still young after all. If you can't take the test this year, you can take the test next year, and if you can't take the test next year, you can take the test the year after tomorrow. But by losing this opportunity to celebrate his own holiday with my father, we lost that opportunity forever. I'm sure it's been a pain that I'll never get rid of.

If I had known that my father would be passing away soon, I would have chosen the former without hesitation between accompanying him and supporting my wife. Unfortunately, I didn't have the ability to predict the future. As a result, I made a bad decision that I would regret for the rest of my life. No matter how much remorse, it can't change the fait accompli. It is precisely because the facts cannot be changed that the remorse in my heart continues.

I don't think it's just me who doesn't have the ability to predict the future. After all, people with such extraordinary abilities only exist in comics. Although the ancient adage of "tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows" is almost universally known, how many people can really put it into practice and truly cherish time? When it comes to dealing with my father, I made the huge mistake of "delaying time", which caused me to lose a lot of precious opportunities to be with my father, who only had a short last time. When my father's situation is uncertain, I should put aside everything and wait by my father's side to fulfill my filial piety.

Here, I just hope to remind my friends who are still not alert by the painful lesson that I regret for a lifetime. Please cherish the precious time of today! Don't slack off just because your parents are healthy now. Don't put your hopes in tomorrow! "When I'm free tomorrow, I'll definitely go home to see my parents!" Maybe you won't have to go back until "tomorrow"! The world is unpredictable, and who can say for sure what will happen "tomorrow"? Not to mention the parents who are already old, even if they are young people who are alive and well, there is no guarantee that they will be able to see the sun tomorrow. Every day, the world doesn't know how many young people lose their precious lives in accidents such as car accidents. Instead of pinning filial piety on the ethereal "tomorrow", it is better to cherish every minute and every second of the real "today"; Instead of regretting the delay of one's filial piety for life, it is better to start filial piety from now on.

No one wants to regret it, but life is full of regrets all the time. In order to make yourself less regretful, you must have the awareness to seize every minute and every second of the present. From now on, take more time out to spend with your parents; From now on, be kind to your parents; From now on, we should honor our parents more...... Only a little more "from now" can there be fewer regrets in the future.
