Father was a hardworking man

Father was a hardworking man who delivered bread as a living to support his wife and three children.

He spent all his evenings after work attending classes, hoping to improve himself so that he could one day find a better paying job.

Except for Sundays, Father hardly ate a meal together with his family.

He worked and studied very hard because he wanted to provide his family with the best money could buy.

Whenever the family complained that he was not spending enough time with them, he reasoned that he was doing all this for them.

But he often yearned to spend more time with his family.

The day came when the examination results were announced to his joy, Father passed, and with distinctions too! Soon after, he was offered a good job as a senior supervisor which paid handsomely.

Like a dream come true, Father could now afford to provide his family with life’s little luxuries like nice clothing, fine food and vacation abroad.

However, the family still did not get to see father for most of the week he continued to work very hard, hoping to be promoted to the position of manager.
