After facing all his fears, it is time for Billy to go home, and they are sitting in a car outside their home. Billy asks his daddy: “What we are gonna do now?” because his mommy was not there, who used to be the soul of that house. And they both are afraid of how they will cope with the trauma of losing the best person in their life.
Daddy replies that they are gonna go into that big empty home, but he couldn’t possibly do it alone. Billy cries that he is not strong like his dad. However, daddy says: “You’re way more tougher than I ever was, Billy. Tough don’t mean you can’t cry.”
The eyes filled with fears and pain says it all that tears never make a person weak. It just says how much you cared or believed in something. Thus, we should appreciate every human feeling, no matter what it is.
