“I rather leave for good then stay in a place that doesn’t belong to me.” That part really hit hard.😔💔

He didn't make the right decision, he made the perfect one

Remember to love your parents...We are so busy growing up, we often forget they are also growing old. :'(

[sunshinemehta]

a salute to this father!!!
i respect his decision.
why stay in a family that can --- eat their food at a reunion without u, the head of the family ?
shed tears for ur absence, rather than go out n search for u ???

People are like that, when they are they, we don't want them, when they are not there, we started to want them. Cherish the present one is what we need to do now

At the end you can see him start to cry about his choice of leaving them but he knows he did the right choice.

Taking others for granted is sad, because they can go away. Appreciate one another.

This makes me realise. No matter how much abuse my mom has given me. At least my dad has always been there to provide me with things I need.

That's why we should always take care of our parents, elders, grandparents even in small things, whether they did something bad or good.. they didnt leave nor forget us when we are still small.. we shouldn't forsake them when they're old.. I was not a good son in the past either, but I'm catching up now..

When I watched this movie, I miss my dad very much, I hope he is in peaceful now, we must always love our parents as well as they are still alive, because life is very short

[antros]

My dad in Heaven, I miss him so much.

this short film shows that some people just don’t cherish you but only when you are gone. by then, it is too late.

[resonator]

when he got that call, he was like:oh, NOW they care -_-

[richardkoh]

Thank you for sharing. Grandpa did the right thing, if he is not respected and unhappy, he should move out, why should he stay with these blokes. As for the family if you don't care about grandpa when he is around, why should you care about him when he is not around. I go my way you go your way, no hard feelings!

And this is one of the many reasons why we have homeless elderly living on the streets...

Family IS A GREAT must treasure our own family.

Never take your loved ones for granted

[avelinetan]

We must always love our parents. They raised us with love and now that we had grew up, we should repay them by giving them some love. Love you Mummy, Love you Daddy

People rarely appreciate what they have. Happiness will rare to find.

When it’s gone, they cried where their precious gone
