Try 'Father retires to the living room# rather than 'father resigns to the living room'. Resigning refers to quitting a job due to pressure or a crisis, retire can mean leaving a scene or a room voluntarily.
That said, I like your descriptions of nature and the twist at the end is a good one. Keep it up.

I really enjoyed reading this. The very unexpected ending was brilliant!

I love emotive stories like this. Good job - keep up the good work!
