Later, he still broke his word.
He would sneak a peek at the locked photo behind my back, just so I wouldn't worry.
After I was arranged to get married, his body also became less tough.
Often seriously ill, I also began to take him to the hospital more and more frequently.
majiaqiI don't want to go to the hospital
I have no choice but to persuade him.
majiaqiMy own body I know, my old bones
He shook his head, it should be a denial to himself.
I have been with him for so many years, and my feelings have long been there. Hearing what he said, I felt sad and wanted to cry.
I did cry too.
majiaqiWhat are you crying for, silly girl?
majiaqiI'm actually sorry for you
majiaqiI'm not a good father, and I didn't make you feel like a mother
This is sincere, if it weren't for him, I might still be working hard for a few dollars.
I really thank him for bringing me here and making my life meaningful.
liukexinDad, you don't have to feel guilty
liukexinI'm having a good time, thank you very much
liukexinMaybe we're not father and daughter in the traditional sense
liukexinBut I have to say...
He laughed.
majiaqiThank you for being in my life
majiaqiI will never regret the decision to bring you back

Later, maybe after half a year, his health got worse and worse, and finally he was bedridden.
I offered to take him to the hospital, but he wouldn't live or die.
majiaqiI'm not going, chemo is hard
majiaqiI'm at home with you, it's fine
"Grandpa, go to the hospital to have a look."
liukexinDad... you can go to the hospital. I don't want to be separated from you yet.
majiaqiMan, there will always be that day
majiaqiInstead of going through so much pain, let me be with you
Seeing how determined he was, I didn't say anything.
Tears wet his eyes, and he wiped me away with a smile.
majiaqiWhy does the older you get, the more you cry?
majiaqiThen what will you do if I leave?
majiaqiOkay, okay, I'm okay
But this is just touching myself.
A week later, he left me.
When I got up that morning, I went to draw the curtains for him as usual and wake him up.
As soon as I entered the door, I saw the look and face on his face.
Peaceful.
I really can't think of anything else to say other than this word.
He left, smiling.
Did you dream of your mother?
I don't know either, but I hope so.
He had thought of her all his life, and now he was finally reunited.
The tears wet my skirt, but I couldn't stop.
I miss him so much.
I love him very much.
Fortunately, I said it and didn't let myself regret it for the rest of my life.
I buried him next to his mother's grave, and they could finally be together.
I want to live the rest of my life alone.
I'm not decadent, but I still miss him.
I said to myself, and to him, over and over again.
liukexinIn the next life, I will still be your daughter
liukexinDon't lose your mother
Looking at the dark sky, there are meteors streaking across the sky.
People say that when you die, you become a shooting star.
liukexinDad, is that you?
