I am a father who is leading a miserable life, missing his son with no one to care for him.

"His son ,a grown man now, calling from another country, increasingly distant, more and more a stranger"

i miss my son and gets excited when he stays in touch with me.

Do you even love and care for me?

Will you come back and visit me one day?

Will we become a "stranger" one day and do not talk with each other anymore?

I feel lonely as my son is living in another country and I am alone at home.

I feel that my son is unfilial towards me.

He does not live with me,in the same country and we only speak about the smaller daily things.
