Fatherhood and Daughterhood

Could you love your father even though you've never know him? Can you love and care about him without any conditions? Lucie, Dr.Manette's daughter made this feat. She's never seen her father, and she couldn't imagine how he looked like. He didn't raise her, he has never played with her, they've never read books together or he never hold her hand. Sometimes we need some courage to do the same thing like Lucie did. She loved the image of her father, the person who she missed her whole life. She decided not to get mad at this situation that happened but give the not dissipated love to her father. She used every single moment appreciating that time that they're spending together. I think Lucie is a symbolic character, who loves her father no matter what happened in past. She is not only beautiful, but kind, and loving girl. For example, when Dr.Manette was recovering, Lucie putted her father's head on her chest. She stayed up with him nights after nights.

Like a daughter, she decided to give him all her care and love. Because of her love she returned he back to life. She "recalled him to life". Being with her, he started forgetting the past, he started to live his life again. I think he felt his daughters' love, and her love dwelled in his heart. Their first meeting was special for both of them.

This relationship with Father and daughter made me think a lot, and changed my heart because looking at this situation I can change my relationship with my father. Honestly, if I were Lucie, I wouldn't be able to act like her, to accept my father who's i've never seen, or to care about him. For me, it would take a lot of time to love him, and really try to give him the best.
