بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
Sometimes we do overlook the sacrifice and the role of our father in the family. We used his money frivolously, without thinking about how hard he works to earn that amount..
As for my dad, I truly respect and admire him. He works really hard for our family. He is the breadwinner. I know I should work but I cant drive therefore it will be harder for me to travel to work. I should start driving. I have called the instructor and ask her to get back to me.
Thats the first step to help the family. You see, my doesnt drive and doesnt work.
My dad is a very busy man. Sometimes, I do feel sorry for him.
