Every day, Dad wakes up early and heads out to work, carrying the weight of responsibility on his shoulders. Whether the sun is blazing or the air is cool and quiet, he keeps going without complaint. CUTIS and Buem may be young, but they notice everything—especially how tired Dad looks when he finally comes home in the evening.
One afternoon, after a long and exhausting day, Dad returned with slow steps and a weary smile. CUTIS was the first to sense something was different. He quietly walked over, gently taking Dad’s hand as if to say, “You can rest now.” Buem followed closely behind, clutching a small towel and a bottle of water she had carefully prepared.
They guided Dad to his chair and insisted he sit down. CUTIS fanned him patiently, his movements serious and focused, while Buem carefully wiped the sweat from Dad’s forehead. Their small hands moved gently, filled with concern and love. Dad couldn’t help but laugh softly, his tiredness slowly melting away.
Not stopping there, CUTIS brought Dad his favorite slippers and helped him slip them on. Buem climbed onto his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck and resting her head on his chest. The simple warmth of her hug spoke louder than words. For a moment, the house felt incredibly peaceful.
Later, they brought him a simple meal, proudly announcing that it was made especially for him. It may not have been perfect, but it was filled with care. As Dad ate, CUTIS and Buem watched closely, their eyes shining with happiness just to see him smile again.
That evening, Dad realized something special. His hard work outside the home was returned in the purest way inside it. CUTIS and Buem didn’t have much to give, but what they offered was priceless—love, gratitude, and genuine concern. In their sweet, innocent way, they reminded Dad that every long day was worth it, because he was deeply loved and never alone. 💕
