關(guān)于親情的英語作文
i was gone for that thanksgiving and missed our family’s dinner. there was always a crowd, with two of my sisters, their husbands and children, plus my wife and our family. it disturbed me greatly that i couldn’t be there. a few days after thanksgiving i was able to call my wife, and she told me something that has made me look at my father in a different way ever since.
my wife knew how my father was about his emotions, and i could hear her voice quaver as she spoke to me. she told me that my father recited his usual thanksgiving prayer. but this time he added one last sentence. as his voice started to crack and a tear ran down his cheek, he said, “dear lord, please watch over and guide my son, rick, with your hand in his time of need as he serves his country, and bring him home to us safely.” at that point he burst into tears. i had never seen my father cry, and when i heard this, i couldn’t help but start to cry myself. my wife asked me what was wrong. after regaining my composure, i said, “i guess my father really does love me.”
eight months later, when i returned home from the war, i ran over and hugged my wife and children in a flurry of tears. when i came to my father, i embraced him and gave him a huge hug. he whispered in my ear, “i’m very proud of you, son, and i love you.” i looked that man, my dad, straight in the eyes as i held his head between my hands and i said, “i love you too, dad,” and we embraced again. and then together, both of us cried.
ever since that day, my relationship with my father has never been the same. we have had many deep conversations. i learned that he’s always been proud of me, and he’s not afraid to say “i love you” anymore. neither am i. i’m just sorry it took 29 years and a war to find it out.
