So realistic a picture with no cover ups! Some fathers are quite strict with their children and at a young age they mistake it to be lack of love. Now with greater experience you realize that his harshness was just a cover over a soft, loving heart! You sadly miss him now and his premature departure is something that you can hardly reckon with.
