Our dad served in goverment for over 30 years before he called it a career. He was born as the eldest of seven siblings and couldn't pursues the studies he wanted. He entered the job market early to support his family, including his younger siblings.
Dad's own desires always took a backseat throughout his life, and he lived a life of sacrifices for the family. Until the day of his retirement, he never lived for himself. The harshness of time is clearly ethed on our dad's hunched back.
Our dad underwent surgery on his knee recently. He's feeling exhausted both physically and mentally due to the challenging rehabilitation. It makes me think I should drop in on him more often. He is like a giving tree. and I am incredibly happy to be his daugther.
