[2020·广东省七校联合体第二次联考] For the brave in the armed forces, being sent away from home for months at a time is just part of the duty. However, it's never an easy one to perform especially for those with children. So when I found out that I was going to be stationed in South Korea for a year, I was nervous about how my five children, particularly my eldest daughter Abigail, would take the news since it meant I wouldn't be home to see her graduate from high school.
Incredibly, Abigail told me not to worry and even suggested we live_stream the event among family members when I announced the news. “We've been lucky you haven't had to be sent abroad yet. Anyway we can get connected through the Internet. See me on your phone，” Abigail said. She stepped into many of my roles when I was gone. I wanted to find a way to thank her and show her how proud I was of her. I started planning the special surprise when my request to return home a few weeks early to attend Abigail's graduation ceremony was approved.
When my time in South Korea finally came to an end, I flew home, rented a car, and stayed in a hotel. And on Abigail's graduation day, I hid in an office behind the stage waiting until I heard my daughter's name called. I just kept thinking “Don't cry. Don't fall over.” At last, Abigail was up on stage. I then stood behind her, whispered in her ear, and she turned around. “I was just thinking, like, ‘You aren't supposed to be here. What? What? How？’ It was the biggest surprise... I'm pretty sure my dad made people he didn't even know cry，” Abigail cried.
You know what followed: Embraces, kisses, tears, laughs, flowers, wishes... Aren't they what a family has in store?
