Badminton was my father’s favorite sport, so it became mine too. We’d go badminton-hopping, where he taught me different kinds of serves, smashes, and shots. Our connection grew closer with every game.
But then life changed our trajectory. He lost the ability to see, making normal movements impossible.
On his recent birthday, I gifted him a shuttlecock. “Dad, remember this?” I asked, gently placing it in his hand.
He smiled bitterly, though his eyes couldn’t clearly see. “I remember.”
In that moment, I realized that our true connection wasn’t in the games we played but in the memories we treasured.
