How does the author express his feelings step by step in short messages?

1. Everything changed because a few years ago, on Father's Day, I got drunk and sent a message to my dad.

This sentence is a transitional sentence, which naturally leads to the following story.

2. I was shocked that a short message to my dad was kept for three years without being deleted!

"Shock" highly summarizes the author's inner feelings at this time, which contains shock, emotion,

And guilt. "Unexpected" means that things are unexpected, which reflects the father's treasure of his son's short message.

Father and son are affectionate.

3. "Dad, I miss you, mom and home?" This sentence appears many times in the text, which is the basic content of short messages and the core sentence that guides the author to change and deepen his feelings.

We talk about work and life like old friends? "Like old friends" shows that the gap has been eliminated, and both father and son really communicate frankly on an equal footing.
