That familiar back, to me, is not only a solid support but also a whole sky of love. Every time I press my face against that warm back, I feel my father's back is like a strong, sturdy shield, protecting me from all the storms of life so that I can grow up peacefully in the arms of my family.
Time passed quickly, I grew up and the times I sat behind my father became less and less. Life swept me away with studying, work and many worries, but every time I was tired and weak, I thought of my father. Life out there was not easy, every time it hurt me, just coming home, seeing the figure of my father sitting quietly fixing an old bicycle, or busily taking care of plants in the garden, I felt my heart soften.
Dad is a man of few words, but through his every gesture and action, I understand the silent love he has for me. Dad doesn't often show it, but is always ready to stand up and protect me. There are worries and pains that he never speaks of, but silently bears, so that his children can be peaceful and happy.
Then one day, my father left me forever... The image of my father cycling against the wind to pick me up from school, his broad back protecting me, only remained in my memory. Every time I looked at my father's portrait with his gentle smile, my heart ached. The old house was still there, the corner of the porch where my father used to sit was still there, the apricot tree and the rose tree my father planted were still there, only the familiar silhouettes had turned into memories. I was bewildered, lost in the silence of memories, of things I had not had the chance to say to my father.
I often dream about my father. There are nights when I feel like I am sitting behind my father again, pressing my cheek against his back and sobbing like when I was a child. There are also times when I dream that I am massaging my father's back after hours of hard work and he smiles gently, hugging me and lovingly calling me "a filial daughter". There are times when I feel like I can't get up, it's like an invisible hand is placed on my shoulder, giving me strength. I feel that even though he is far away, my father is always watching over me, and the memory of him is like a peaceful place for me to rely on. Whenever life is challenging, I tell myself: "I still have my father behind me".
Dad, I wish I could sit behind you again, feel your warmth and the strange peace. But I understand that, even though you are no longer with me physically, you are still a great spiritual support, a belief for me to continue on the path of life. Even though now, everything is just memories, but I know, I will always have you behind me.
