The silent hero

My mother told me that she did not cry because of pain, but because she was afraid of losing my father - her lifelong companion. But then, a miracle happened, both my father and I were safe. My father overcame his fatal heart disease. And the first time he held me in his arms, he burst into tears. "I came back to life because of you", he told me when I was old enough to understand the day I was born.

My childhood was not like other children. I was not carried around by my father or frolicked on his shoulders. When I was little, I used to be very sad and felt sorry for myself when I saw my friends being carried by my father. But then my mother said: “Dad is afraid that you will fall because he is sick and weak.” At that time, I was no longer sad, I just felt more sorry for my father.

Dad always accompanies Bao Nhi in all activities.

My father was a man of few words, but every word he said was a valuable life lesson that I have carried with me to this day.

I still remember clearly, one day I came home from school with a sad face because I got a bad score in Math. My father did not scold me, nor did he ask why. He just quietly took a piece of white paper, drew a ladder and said: “Do you see this ladder? If you want to go up, you have to go up step by step. If you fall, you get up and continue. Everyone starts from the lowest step and goes up.”

My father taught me that failure is not scary - giving up is what is truly scary.

Then one time, I was misunderstood by my friends, feeling so wronged that I burst into tears. My father listened silently, then gently said: “Not everyone will understand you right away, but if you live right, time will answer for you.”

Those words follow me to this day, reminding me to always live kindly and be steadfast in my heart. My father rarely says loving words to me and my mother like other fathers, but his love permeates every small action. From the stairway light he turns on when my mother and I come home late, to the quiet, proud look every time I am honored, stand on stage or appear on television.

I understand that I am my father's hope. Not to become the best, but to become a kind, strong and compassionate person like my father - who sacrificed his youth and health to protect me and my mother.

If I were to call someone a "hero", I would not hesitate to say: "That is my father", who lived a quiet life for me.

I love you dad!
