I think this is the reason why parents just have to be good to their children especially when they know they will one day grow old. You are lucky to have a father that thinks that way. The painful part is when you know your parents did almost nothing for you except of course bringing you to this world to suffer but they still expect you to take very good care of them immediately you are an adult not even when they grow old.
Taking care of a good parent is something that won’t be hard at all because you as the child on your own will know that they deserve it and more.
