Today was quite an amazing day for me. It was the day that my father returned home from Russia. He had been away from us for over a year. I had missed him more than words could ever say. Although we were proud of him, we hoped that he could wake up under the same roof (屋顶) as us. Now the day had finally arrived. He had worked hard and it was now time for him to return home.
Mom woke us at 6 a.m. to go to the airport. My father's flight (航班) was due to arrive at 9:30. “We don't want to be late!” she kept saying as she woke everyone up. She had no need to remind me! I quickly dressed, washed and had breakfast. I could not take my eyes off the clock all morning. Time was going so slowly. When it was 8:45, my mom told us all it was time to go. We all ran to the car and made our way quickly to the airport.
We arrived just after 9 and waited patiently. But 9:30 came and went and our father's flight had still not arrived. I kept asking Mom where he was. She just kept smiling and saying he'd be there soon. Another 10 minutes went by, and suddenly a tall man appeared in the crowd. There was my father standing before me. He dropped his bags to the floor and hugged my sister and me. “I've missed you so much,” he said. We all cried together. I never want my father to be away for such a long time.
Today was pretty perfect.
