a letter to Dad

Dear father,

How are you?

"There is a heavy heart, and the tears flow first." Dad, do you know that your son is hurting when he writes to you at this time? Dad, you have been away from me and my mother for nine years. I have never seen you again in the past nine years. My impression of you is too vague. I only want to piece together your image from my mother's words. The only memory you left for me was one night when I was three years old. When I was asleep, I was awakened by the noise of your mother and me. I opened my eyes and saw that you put your mother on the floor and raised your fist to the mother. After you beat the mother, you left the house quietly and left us. From then on, raise my burden. On the shoulders of the mother alone, the helpless mother had to work in the shackles of electricity, getting up early every day, and still have to endure the aunt's unreasonable reprimand. Going home every day to do housework, but also to take care of the elderly grandmother, the burden of the mother is too heavy, and several times my mother has been sick in bed because of overwork. Whenever I see my mother lying on the sick bed, I will return to your hometown, think of my dear father, where are you?

Dad, remember when I was in kindergarten, the teacher taught me a song: "I want to find my father, my good father didn't find it. If you see him, he will persuade him to go home..." Upon hearing this song, Xiao I was so small that I burst into tears. No matter how much the teacher comforted, I couldn't stop tears. After I knew this, my mother lied to me that you are going out to work and will come back. I firmly believe in my mother's words and I look forward to your return every day. Spring is gone, winter is coming, the leaves are green and yellow, yellow and green... It’s nine years in a blink of an eye, Dad, where are you?

Dad, do you know? Whenever I see other children hiding in the arms of my father and mother, playing happily; whenever I see my classmates sharing their troubles and sorrows with their fathers; whenever I hear other children intimately crying When I was "Dad"... There was always a burst of sorrow and grief in my heart, how envious of them! The name "Dad" has repeatedly shouted in my heart for thousands of times, but there is no chance for you to hear it. People say that the family of three is the happiest, but our family is different. It is a family of three, composed of grandmother, mother and me. Dad, do you know? It is an incomplete family of three, because there is no you, my dear father!

Now that I have grown up, Dad, I have a lot of good news to tell you that I was rated as a good student every year at school. Last year, I was also named "Top Ten Youth" in Da'an District. This year, I have been named "Excellent Student Cadre" in the High-tech Zone. Dad, I am happy and proud of me!

The letter has been written here, but I don't know where to send this letter, hehe! Let me fold it into a small boat and put it in the bustling river, let it be in my thoughts for you, drifting to your side!
