The answer

A Muslim's obedience to his parents is for the sake of earning reward, attaining Allah's pleasure, and entering Paradise, for the father is the middle gate of Paradise, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The pleasure of the Lord is in the pleasure of the parent, and the displeasure of the Lord is in the displeasure of the parent," and he also said: "The parent is the middle gate of Paradise; so if you wish, you may neglect that gate or preserve it." It is advisable to contact him and seek his pleasure through kind words, phone calls, gifts, and visits.
