A hardworking dad sits alone, carrying invisible burdens, stress, regret, and the distance growing between him and his teenage daughter. She tries to connect, but he answers with impatience, not because he doesn’t love her, but because he’s exhausted and afraid he’s failing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAfter she leaves, a gentle “voice” steps in, representing conviction, conscience, the Holy Spirit’s nudge. The questions are simple but heavy: When did you last say “I love you”? When did you last listen? The dad admits he confused providing money with providing love. He realizes love requires humility, stepping down from pride, stepping toward his child.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe ending is soft and brave.
