In the blink of an eye, my daughter has entered junior high school. Looking back on the past, as a father, I have too many regrets and guilt. I want to try to change, but change is so difficult.

At some point in the future, when my daughter grows up, regardless of love or hate, I just want to tell her: I love you, and I hope you will be your backing, and I will give you everything, even my life. If you are dissatisfied with me, or even hate me, I will not blame you, because I did not do what you wanted, because I love you. You are the most luxurious and precious gift that nature has given me in life. For this, I will be proud for the rest of my life!
