As I was mounting my bike, I noticed my father limping towards me. I waited for him to approach me but decided against it. I walked up to him and helped him sit at a nearby bench. It was dad's idea to place these benches outside our house just in case one of us wants to relax outside, they have other choices other than going to the beach like I do. When he was comfortably sitting, I sat beside him. Just waiting for him to speak his mind out. I didn't have to wait long because he spoke instantaneously after he was seated. "We're sorry, pumpkin. We didn't mean to put you in that position but we did consider your safety as top priority when we decided to tell you that. We didn't stop to think about what you want. We're sorry. I'm sorry. We'll support you in whatever you decide for yourself.
