Your heart, decide what you see - "I'm Waiting for You in the Rain" reading notes

"I Wait for You in the Rain" is a novel by the famous American writer Garth Stein, and there is also a movie of the same name.

The story is based on the perspective of a dog, Enzo, to tell the life of the owner Danny's family. Ever since Enzo was chosen by Danny to live with him, Danny's career, love, and life have all gone through an incredibly exciting and romantic process. Enzo witnessed Danny's glory on the field, falling in love with Eve, the birth of his daughter Zoe, and the harmonious life of the family. He thinks and acts like a human being and is emotionally rich. When all the good things are going on, misfortune quietly comes, Eve falls ill, the doctor says that there is not much time left, and Eve's state deteriorates. While Danny takes care of Eve, he also has to take care of Zoe and Enzo, trying to do everything he can do now, so that life can get back to the original track as soon as possible. The parents who learned of Eve's illness plotted to get custody of Zoe, wanting their granddaughter to get a better education and stay with them.

The book is cleverly interspersed with traffic jam scenes, comparing life to traffic jams, expressing a point of view - your heart, determine what you see. In the process of Danny's fight for Zoe's custody, when Danny is about to give up, Enzo tears up the contract that Danny signed, allowing Danny to regain his faith and firmly never give up custody of his daughter.

On the surface, the Danny family is raising Enzo, but in fact, many times, it is Enzo's company that allows them to overcome their fears, dissolve loneliness, and regain confidence.

In recent years, more and more young people have been promoted to shovelers, and I believe that the details of Enzo and Danny's family's lives in the book will definitely bring touch and resonance to everyone. After all, to you they are the passers-by of life, and to it you are the whole of their lives. I hope that everyone can be kind to the little cute people who accompany you.

Excerpts:

Where your eyes look, the car goes.

Traffic jam is to do, is to live in the present, can only pay attention to the moment of the moment, recall is left for later use.

It's no use getting mad at another racer for an accident. At the end of the day, every problem is yours, and you're responsible for where you are and what you do.

People are always worried about what will happen next, it is difficult to stay calm, they cannot focus on the present, they worry about the future. People are usually not satisfied with what they have, but they are worried about what they are "about to" have.

When you're stuck in quicksand, the worst-case scenario is struggling.

The world can limit a person because of your weak will.

There is no shame in losing a game, only because you are afraid of losing and not playing.
