The love and concern, and care from her father-in-law, shown with his, actions…translated…
The movie, "Dad's Lunch Box", about a single father who isn't agile in expressing his love for his young, by making the lunches for his daughter to show them how much he loved his daughter, which connected the father to the daughter, his show of love and concern for her, were hidden in the details of the lunches he'd made and packed up for her.
My father stayed far far away from the kitchens, he'd never cooked once, but in my in-law's, my father-in-law cooked the afterbirth recovery meals for me, this was, quite, unforgettable.
My father-in-law knew that my mother-in-law wasn't agile in the kitchen, after he retired, he'd become the home cook, went to the local markets to purchase all the groceries needed for the three meals; every time I'd gone home to my parents-in-law's home, I'd seen my mother-in-law sitting in the living room, with my father-in-law busying in and out of the kitchens; as the New Year arrived, it was my father-in-law, running all over the places to get the needed items. My father-in-law who's strong and tough, rugged on the outside, showed that careful thought toward my mother-in-law, it'd made their neighbors envied how my mother-in-law has it so easy.

I live close to my in-laws, about a ten-minute walk, my in-laws were traditional, believed that if they don't help their daughter-in-law who lives so close to them with the recovery after birth, there would be the gossips. My mother-in-law didn't like to cook, and my father-in-law stepped in, to shoulder the tasks of making the meals, the two worked together, to help me with my month long recovery after birth, my father-in-law in charge of cooking, my mother-in-law, bathing my child, feeding. My father-in-law loved his wife, treated me extremely well too, he'd researched the recipes, to learn to make a good chicken soup, bought the chickens, the kidneys, the pork livers, and all the vegetables fitted to a woman who'd just given birth, and he would also, prepare the red bean soups as snack for me to consume too. And as he'd heard from the neighbors, that the condensed milk with the ancient style pastries, he'd gone to shop for them immediately.
After my maternity leave, I'd returned back to work, my father-in-law worried that my work in school would get heavy and I'd had to take care of my baby after I got home, I wouldn't have the time to prepare the suppers, he'd often made the dumplings, and froze them for me, and sent me home with them, he was very thoughtful, simplified my meal preparation for my suppers.
There are many faces of the love of the fathers, in the movie, the father made the packed lunches to show his love for his daughter; my father-in-law made my afterbirth recovery meals, made the dumplings, his delicate thought toward me, his love and concerns for me, will always stay with me.
So, this is an amazing father-in-law who'd shown his love for his daughter-in-law, and, he'd loved her with his actions, by showing the concerns and cares for her, by making the meals that was needed for her to make the recovery after birth, and, he'd taken care of everything in the kitchens for his family, and this is the tale of a man who'd given everything to his family, showing them how much they are loved and cherished by him.
