Suddenly tears came running down his face. He was grateful at that moment. But at the same time, flashes of himself revealed how pathetic he lead his life.
"Hey, why are you crying?" a little girl said.
"I'm not crying," the man said as he wiped and covered his eyes. He was embarrassed but thankful. All his hard work have been recognized. To that he was happy. But his memories of how he looked at himself, of how pathetic he was. It was what mixed in his own emotion.
I'm grateful, yet at the same time, regretful of how things turned out, the man thought.
"You're going to see them soon," the little girl said. "Family is what old men should think about when they die. They'd feel happier even in the face of death."
