The pain my father gone through

It was just another normal night, me surfing the net and see is there any interesting stuff, and chatting on my msn, then my father suddenly show me a piece of wood that is around 2cm long and around 2mm width, he said that it has been in between the top the nail and the flesh of the thumb for quite long, and i can see that the thumb is swollen. I was a bit shock. He said that the thumb need to be swollen in order for that splinter to come out on its own.

My father is a carpenter, is very often to get splinters, imagine having a splinter is a very painful thing, and to have it in between nails and thumb is a more painful thing that i can thought of. That is his job. He is the father of mine and raise me and my brothers up going through the pain.

He does not work in air-con rooms, or good condition, he has to sniff the glue, carry heavy furniture which he has build, and also get splinters, bruises and pain.

As he showed me the thumb, deep down in my heart i felt the pain, and tell myself to work harder so that he does not need to work again and get that pain, another part of my heart really said thank you very much pa!
