It was completely impossible to get to sleep. Dad must have understood, because he came up to my room long after he had said good night. He brought his guitar. I didn't say anything. Neither did Dad, who sat on the edge of the bed. But after a while, he cleared his throat and began to play. He played the Trille tune, just like when I was tiny. It's my very own song, and it was Dad who wrote it. When he finished, he said that he'd written a brand-new song for me, called \"Sad Son, Sad Dad.\" \"Do you want to hear it, Trille?\" I gave a tiny nod. And as the wintry wind swirled around the house and everyone else slept, my dad played \"Sad Son, Sad Dad.\" I almost couldn't see him because it was so dark. I just listened. And suddenly I realized what dads are for.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Maria Parr" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/maria-parr/that-evening-i-was-so-sad-that-i-didn-t-know-what-to-do-it-was/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6ed/maria-parr-79802_sad_that-evening-i-was-so-sad-that-i-didn-t_2209412.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6ed/maria-parr-79802_sad_that-evening-i-was-so-sad-that-i-didn-t_2209412.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/6ed/maria-parr-79802_sad_that-evening-i-was-so-sad-that-i-didn-t_2209412.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“That evening I was so sad that I didn't know what to do.
