The protagonist of today's story is a 40-something uncle living in Melbourne.
Uncle Ash Mills, is a regular cleaner.
If the uncle were walking in the street, we would never look at him twice, but this uncle is a real internet celebrity in Australia.
There are more than 80, 000 fans on INS, known as the warmest father in Australia.
The usual style of painting in their family is like this:
Go to the playground:
Birthday, Party..
And make fun of it..
It doesn't look much different from the average Australian family..
But uncle Ash and a 9-year-old daughter, Alex, are studying gymnastics..
We've heard about how hard it is to learn gymnastics,
Every day you have to press your tendons, pull your back, make all kinds of difficult moves, and challenge your physical limits.. The most heard in the gymnasium was the cry of the child..
Alex isn't surprised that he's crying every day at practice.. The average father saw his daughter so bitter that he either forced her to continue her practice, or simply did not practice at all.
Uncle Ash, however, is also very sad that Alex, has tried several times to persuade Alex to give up.
But Alex has always insisted on continuing, uncle can not see the daughter, had to decide to practice with her daughter. Uncle feel, daughter has their own company, can alleviate the pain.
However, Ash forgot that he is now middle-aged, with old arms and legs, and has no gymnastics foundation at all..
For the first time, I almost broke my back:
The next day when I got up, my uncle was sore all over. He almost gave up, but at the thought of what his daughter had been through, he clenched his teeth and continued to persevere..
So, in every room where his daughter went, he could be seen in the shadow of his father..
Ash fell over and over again.. Get up again and again..
At first her daughter, Alex, loved his father and wanted him to do something a little less difficult, but then she thought about it and started instructing him with some technical details.
In this way, uncle Ash, who used to know nothing about gymnastics, is now able to do some very difficult movements..
Alex recalls that there was a time when she made little progress and was hurt and wanted to give up, but her dad's company gave her back confidence and strength.
Perhaps, this is the best interpretation of fatherly love.
