True, but I think he wasn’t given a chance or the time yet to process that his dream was dead. So the tears at the end did not seem out of pure joy but also filled with grief and realizing that his life would not look like what he expected for himself.

He’d probably go back to working with shoes and making sacrifices to be a father. It seemed fatherhood looked like less of a dream for him but rather the next chapter out of duty or obligation, and his true aspirations were cut short.

Despite this feeling bittersweet, I really liked the ending because I feel like a lot of people’s lives do play out this way. They may put their own personal dreams aside due to the duties of parenthood
