(2025·河南焦作·高三检测)It was my 18th birthday and the sky was blanketed with a gentle snowfall, creating a quiet atmosphere. It seemed like an age since we last saw the ground so fantastically carpeted, just like last year when I spent the whole day expecting Dad to come back. The snowflakes danced gracefully in the cold winter breeze. I stood there, lost in thought.
When I was young, my father, who was an expert at handicraft, was my hero and my inspiration. However, he had seldom communicated with me since I was in middle school. Despite my longing for a connection with him, he had always been distant due to his busy work schedule. My Mum always told me that busy though Dad was, he was really concerned about me. But I couldn't help but feel that he didn't like me anymore. Otherwise, why would he have ignored me for such a long time?
"Why not take a walk before your birthday party?" Mum interrupted my thoughts, "Sure, Mum!" The common scenes in streets looked so familiar to me, each marked with my happy childhood. The snowflakes continued to dance, painting a still scene outside. "Amazing!" I couldn't help uttering. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile phone to capture the beauty of nature frozen in time. My heart leapt with joy and some expectations as if a dream were stirring inside.

答案： Suddenly，a familiar figure came into my camera lens.It was Dad，standing at the end of the street，dressed warmly against the cold，watching me with a gentle smile.My heart skipped a beat as I realized he had come for my birthday.I lowered my phone，feeling a warmth that surpassed the snow’s chill.We locked eyes for a moment,and then he slowly walked towards me，breaking the silence with a“Happy Birthday，son.”
I opened the beautifully crafted wooden box beside the birthday cake.Inside lay a handmade leather wallet，each stitch meticulously done.Tears welled up in my eyes as I recognized my father’s touch.He had always been there，in his own way，expressing his love through his craft.“I know I’ve been busy，but I wanted to make something special for you，”he said softly.That moment，all my doubts melted away，replaced by a deep understanding of the love that had never truly left.
