Did you ever ask yourself if you would be happy living in your father's shoes? If you ever asked yourself that question, you probably would end up regretting not noticing everything your father does so much for you out of love, and that you blindly never even notice the love or return it with a simple thank you. Martinez Serros' "Distillation" and Hayden's "These Winter Sundays" both deal with a fatherly love, and how, despite a difficult life, fathers undergo pain yet sons don't fully appreciate it.
Both of these families seem to have a difficult life. As you can tell in the story "Distillation" The father of this story took his kids early in the morning to go to the dumpster. There type of transportation was a cart. They didn't have any money to own a car or even take the bus. The father had to pull them on a cart.
