2、 never break.Marie de Rabutin-Chantal, Marquise de SvignMost of my childhood memories of my father include watching him as he sat at his desk, typing away on his typewriter for hours almost every night. He dreamed of publishing a novel. He worked tirelessly on it for years. It was a serious, unsenti
3、mental novel, much like my father, who was a serious, unsentimental man. Or so I thought.Despite being fearful of my father, I could not help but be fascinated by his never-ending typing. Dad used his index fingers to type, and he typed very loudly. Peck, peck, peck emanated constantly from his corn
4、er of the family room.Although I was a generally obedient child, I morphed into a teenage hellion. While I was busy rebelling against my overly protective parents, my father continued working on his novel. Between heated arguments, he and I ignored each other. Looking back, I believe this was how it
5、 had to be for us. During this time, I fell in love with the written word, but never shared this new passion with Dad. His peck, peck, peck was just background noise to me during those teenage years.When I was twenty-two years old, my father and I had a monumental argument that led to my dramatic de
6、parture from his house. I refused to return for another four years. And during those four long years, I did not utter a single word to him.While I was on this self-imposed sabbatical from my father, my career progressed nicely. My life appeared to be pleasant and stable. And yet, I often dreamed abo
7、ut my father, feeling melancholy and empty when I awoke. Eventually, my mother shared with me that he frequently cried in his sleep, fretting about my absence. Given that he was an outwardly unemotional man, I did not know how to react except with disbelief. I wanted to return to him, but he and I w
8、ere worlds apart, at least in my mind. It seemed like we could not coexist peacefully.Still, I was completely torn. Throughout my twenties, I did some extensive soul-searching. Finally, I had a stunning breakthrough: My father and I were actually the same! Both of us were strong-willed and proud and
9、, most importantly, we missed each other dearly. I realized it wasnt his job to be the person I wanted him to be. It was my job to love and accept the person he was. These epiphanies led to a miraculous and long-awaited reconciliation with Dad that shocked everyone. Our silent war was finally over a
10、fter four emotionally excruciating years.He never asked me why I drastically changed my attitude toward him. He just took me back into his open arms without asking for even a semblance of an explanation just what one would expect a loving and forgiving father to do. To be honest, at the time, I didn
11、t know if he had forgiven me or I had forgiven him. But looking back, I realize that we had forgiven each other.During the golden years of his life, we had a wonderful time together. Eventually, he started to talk to me about his novel. Peck, peck, peck became a newly comforting sound to my ears. Bu
12、t I still never talked to him about my love for writing. Mostly, I felt I had to “forget” about writing to pursue a more practical career. Or perhaps I feared I would never be as talented a writer as he was. After all, the last thing I wanted to do was to disappoint my father.As I grew closer to Dad
13、, I thought I knew everything there was to know about him. Little did I know about the surprise he would leave me.When I was thirty-two, he passed away right before Fathers Day. After the funeral, I was organizing his belongings when I found a very old manuscript that I did not recognize. As I began
14、 to read it, I realized that it was an extremely romantic account about my mother, a love letter so to speak, written by my father! I was in shock as I read his beautiful words. Was the hopeless, sentimental romantic who wrote this letter actually my frequently stern, serious father? I could not bel
15、ieve it, and neither did anyone else.My mother had little recollection of this letter, which led me to suspect that I was the first person to read it. It was as if my father had let me in on his lifes secret so that we could continue our relationship even after he had left. I missed him even more.On
16、e of the biggest ironies of my life is that I understood my father better in death than I did when he was alive. The way I see it now, this love story between Dad and me happened exactly the way it was meant to. For most of my life, I didnt really understand him, and when I was ready to truly know a
17、nd appreciate him, he was gone. But in his absence, Dad left me a hidden treasure in the form of a romantic account, a love letter, about my mother so that I could discover the man that he was underneath.Perhaps I was meant to find his letter later in life so that he could inspire me to write again.
18、 Dad passed away before realizing his dream of completing his novel. However, I know in my heart that he is sitting right next to me, finishing his novel as I type these very words. I can hear the peck, peck, peck the sound of my father, the secret hopeless romantic.As an aspiring screenwriter, I ha
19、ve been taught to tell my stories in the classic three-act structure of most films. When I look back at my relationship with my father, I realize that our relationship played out just like a classic tale of forgiveness. In Act 1, I misunderstood him. In Act 2, I fought him. But in Act 3, I loved him
