Protection
Just watched “CSI”, episode 3 & 4 of season 4. It touched my heart.
In episode 3, two bad guys broke in a house, imprisoned the parents and raped the daughter. When the father went to the police station, he talked with Grimson about his thought. He said:
“She's 16. I only had two jobs left -- teach her to think for herself, keep her safe. I got one right.”
“And when Suzanna was a little girl, Linda made me put those, um, the child-proof locks on all the kitchen cabinets. I complained. You know what she said to me? She said, uh, ‘The least we can do is make her safe in her own house.’" Saying this, tears shinning in he eyes.
I could understand what he was saying. We live in an old house where lots of hardware problems exists. Before I fixed those problems, I usually thought: “Is this the best I can give my family?” Earlier this year, a thief broke in my house, although he didn’t cause big loss, but I felt really angry and frustrated. I was not angry about the thieving, but was angry and frustrated about my being unable to protect my family. I am not sure whether all fathers are like this, but I do understand that father in CSI.
The behavior of the father in episode 4 was beyond believe; he left his son in a car in hot weather and caused his son dead. Initially it seemed that he simply forgot his son was in the car (this is not impossible, sometimes I forgot my son sitting at the backseat while I driving, but I always did double check while I left car.) but surly there were more to it. I just want to say, if I do left Samuel in my car and caused he dead, I would never forgive myself.
