Liam's father spent all his childhood at work and in bars after works. He often didn't return home at night and slept at the bar. When the bartender told him that it was already dawn and they were closing, he woke up and came home. He then took a bath and had breakfast. And after this, he left for work.
He never helped his wife around the house even though she asked him to. One morning she requested him to help her because she was so tired at work. But he indifferently replied that it was not his problem. And then Liam's mom had to do everything with a tired body.
One weekend his father was watching football on TV. That time he went to him and suggested to him that they should play football together. But his father became irritated and told Liam to let him watch football in peace. After this Liam thought his father didn't love them.
He had hurt his mom all the time. One day Liam overheated their conversation. His mom told his father that he smelt of another woman's perfume. She asked if he was cheating on her. His only reply to her was to leave him alone. And this broke her and was speechless.
Liam often heard his mom cry and he hated his dad for it. He was so upset seeing her mom sad. And one day during one of their fights his mom suddenly felt dizzy. His father said to his mom that he was so sick of her and her hysteriscs. And suddenly she said that she was not feeling well. She was about to fall down and that time he hold her. He looked so sad and tensed.
He quickly got into car with his wife and son. And then he drove towards the hospital. In the way she said that that splitting headache was unbearable. He tried to consol her saying that they would get to the hospital soon.
Liam's mom was admitted. And his father went to talk with the doctor. They were having a long conversation and then Liam stood in front of the doctor's room. He heard the doctor saying his dad to be strong. That time was the first time he saw his dad to cry. He was crying like a baby.
But when his dad picked his mom up at the hospital, he was acting totally different. He brought a big bouquet of flowers and said to his wife, "I got them for you honey!" And then he took his wife back to home.
Since then he had cooked amazing dinners every evening and kissed his mom all the time. His mom was astonished at his changed behaviour. But Liam was very happy as he saw his mom and dad happy.
He had heard them talk for hours and profess their love to each other. They saw the photo album and remembered their times together. One night Liam heard his dad thanking to his mom for all those years they had spent together.
After this on every weekend, Liam's dad took them to park, carnival or in travel. They all took lots of pictures and reminisce about their younger years. Thet had go on dates and often took Liam on walks. It was the first time that he felt love and care in his family. He had never been so happy before.
It went on for three months until his mom's condition suddenly worsened. And that day they were having breakfast. His dad was taking tea and mom was about to eat. That time she pointer at her head and said, "Ouch! That headache." His dad was so shocked that his cup of tea fell down and exclaimed with fear.
He quickly took her to the hospital but after a few hours later Good took his wife. Liam forgot to react and could not believe it. And saw his dad crying. The doctor was trying to consol him. But he was out of it.
It turned out that that evening three months earlier when his mom was admitted at the hospital, his parents had found out that she had terminal cancer and treatment would not help her to recover. And so the doctor was saying to his dad to be strong.
After the funeral, Liam and his dad stood near his mom's grave. His father said that he was so sorry that he had come to his senses so late. But he promised that things would be different from then on.
Liam's dad kept his words and he stopped going to the bars and became a wonderful father. He cared Liam both being a mom and dad. He spent his free time playing with his son and do whatever was good for him.
But his grief never ended. He always remembered his wife with pain and regret even when his son grew up as a good man. He said that he would never forgive himself.
So, don't put off showing your love, one day it may be too late.
The story was great. At first I was very upset with Liam's father. But the annoyance did not last long. He was probably omnivorous due to excessive drinking at the bar. However, there was a lot of love for Liam's helpless mother.
