As I pulled the chair and sat beside my father's lying body on his own bed, I couldn't stop myself but to shake. After all these years, it seemed like nothing changed in this room. "James?" I hear a whisper. It sounded so down and fragile and so soft. I turn my head to my father's direction. His lips curved. He moved his hands to mine and held my hand tight.

I answered. I held his hands tighter. "look at you, you're even more handsome than I was when I was at your age." Dad gave a soft chuckle. I chuckled too. I never knew this moment would come again.

"Dad, I Love you too." I cried.
