Where's Daddy

Where's Daddy

By BERNARD HERRINGPublished 3 years ago 3 min read

The boy was a healthy, normal child. However, a serious illness robbed him of his precious sight, and the boy was blind from then on. That year, the boy was only six years old, the most innocent and carefree age of a teenager, and he could only be with the dark world forever.

The boy's parents do not know how many days and nights have cried for this, but the fact is the fact after all, all ways can not restore the child's light. After many days and nights of thinking, the couple finally felt relieved and accepted the reality. They thought that since the child had lost the light, they could not let the child lose the happiness. So, they try their best to find music for the child, and finally, the mother thought of the child's heart - slingshot!

"Yes! Why didn't I think..." In the middle of his words, the father began to SOB, "But how can our children play in this situation?" He can't see at all..."

"It's all right, dear. Don't be sad. We can help him slowly." Mother quickly laughed and sidestepped the subject.

Therefore, every weekend afternoon, there will always be a family of three on the outdoor lawn.

It was a green lawn, and the boy found his happiness in such a vibrant place. Under the guidance of his mother, the boy wrapped the stone seeds and filled the slingshot. Ten meters ahead was a beer bottle, the boy's grip on the pouch let go, the "bullet" shot out. At first, the child could not hit, so it was inevitable that there was a burst of crying and Shouting, the boy was not blind before he was recognized as the "sharpshooter" in the hearts of his partners, he played with the slingshot, almost 100 shots! However, the boy had no sight and even had to rely on his mother to help him aim.

In the first few days, the boy was in great pain, but fortunately his mother was beside him: "My child, I believe my mother, you can do it!" Just shoot straight ahead at the target you have in mind and don't think too much about it!"

The boy obeyed his mother, and once, twice, three times, four times -- crash -- the boy cheered, he was so happy that he had made the shot! "Mom, I did it!" "Said the child excitedly. Now my mother's eyes, tears have come to her eyes.

From then on, every weekend, the boy will always go to the lawn on time to play slingshot, his results gradually rose, the most important thing is, the boy since then, restored the self-confidence of the past, become much more cheerful!

Every weekend, the boy's slingshot technology is becoming more and more superb, he has almost recovered the former glory, can reach 100! That afternoon, the boy drew his bow and shot - breaking twenty bottles in one go. At this time, he suddenly realized that every time he came to play, his mother was with him. "Mother, where is Father? Why don't you always come with us?" The child asked curiously.

The boy's mother forced down the bitterness in her heart, with tears in her eyes but dare not cry out, she said to her son: "My child, my father is busy with work, so I can only accompany you to come, but your progress father knows, rest assured!"

"Does Dad have to work on weekends?" The boy continued to ask.

Mother's tears rolled down her face and fell onto the green grass. How can the boy know that every time he plays slingshot, his father is there! The father's task was to take a hammer and dub it right in front of his son's bullet - the sound of glass breaking!

This is the boy's father, he has to endure from time to time the boy shot over the "bullet" attack, it is solid stone seed ah! The boy's bow is full every time! His father can only put on a thick cotton coat, even in the hot summer, but also wear a hat on his head, even a helmet, because he was afraid that the abnormal hit the sound will let himself reveal!

This is our parents, they are sowing the most sincere and deep love on us all the time, sometimes, although we can not see, but it is those who can not see, is the most moving scenery in the world!

In fact, in the young life years, many of us have been "blind", where we can not see, there are our parents, they are there to guide us!
