誰是最愛你的人（2）

On　Saturday　or　Sunday；　my　Dad’s　only　rest　days；　he　would　e　up　to　me　and　say；　“How　about　a　game　of　cricket？”“Yes；　dad；　that　will　be　great。　”　I　would　reply　happily。　On　the　days　that　he　was　too　tired　to　play　he　would　say；　“Yeah　sure；　I’ll　play。　”My　Momwould　e　and　call　me　to　the　side　and　explain　that　my　dad　was　just　too　tired　to　play；　but　he　could　not　say　no　to　me。　He　always　had　and　has　time　for　me。

As　time　flew　by；　I　started　to　bee　a　teenager；　and　with　ateenager　e　independence　and　what　seemed　to　me　as　a　childish　game　over　food　became　a　stupid　idea。　He　would　e　into　my　room　and　say；　“How　about　a　milo　before　you　go　to　bed？”　he　would　say。　“Thanks　but　no　thanks。”　I　would　reply　angrily；　not　thinking　about　the　thought　behind　his　actions。

I　wrote　this　to　thank　the　entire　fathers　out　there；　but　I　especially　wrote　this　to　thank　my　dad。　The　one　who　would　make　me　food　late　at　night　when　I　was　too　tired　to　do　so　or　unable　to　do。　The　one　w
