Dad didn’t know how to show love. He went to work every day and blamed (责备) me for the mistakes I made when he came home.
At my birthday parties, dad always seemed out of place. He just kept himself busy blowing up balloons, setting up tables, and welcoming the guests. And mom carried the cake with the candles on it for me to blow out.
When I learned to ride a bike, I asked him not to leave me alone, but he said it was time. I fell and mom ran to pick me up, but he stopped her. I was so mad that I wanted to show him that I could ride it myself.
When I went to college, mom wrote letters to me. He just sent money and a little note about how great his garden looked now because I wasn’t playing football in it. Whenever I called home, he acted like he wanted to talk but always said, “Wait, Tim. I’ll get your mother. ”
All my life he said: “Where are you going? What time are you coming home? No, you cannot go. ” Dad just didn’t know how to show love, unless…was it possible he showed it and I didn’t realize it?
