Relationships with Family

" I do not know if  I will ever physically carry my father as he has carried me, though I fear that someday I may have that responsibility." As we age, we tend to forget that are parents age as well. The writer expressed of how the physical relationship changed from when he was younger to when he was older.  He went from always wanting to beat his father , when he finally had the opportunity , he just couldn't do it. He began to realize that his father was becoming weaker and one day he may have to take care of his father the same way his father took care of him.
