Appreciate your parents.

let's talk about parental love.

this post is inspired by a scene i saw ytd when i was on a bus, driving past xms.

i thought i saw a bird flying into the drain, but there was the lady nearby who stood still and was staring intently at somewhere. so i followed her gaze.

i realised it wasnt a bird i saw, it was a cap. thrown by a man. but what was different about this man, was that he is behaving like a child. throwing tantrums. whatever he is suffering from, probably some slow mental age.

but of course, my focus isnt on him.it was his mum. she was holding him back, preventing him from throwing away his ezlink. there was tears in her eyes. probably desperate for help to restrain her child.

or was it sadness?

which mother in the world would wish for her child to have illness? much less incurable illness.

a mother's love is great. it is beyond commendable.

why are then people who could never seem to appreciate their parents?

why are there often teenagers tweeting/posting things on facebook such like they hate their parents?

honestly, there was a phase of my life where i wrote in my diary that i hate my father? why? immaturity.

seriously. what i wrote, the event that happened, was so stupid i cant rmb it now, except that it is stupid.

i wont usually care when children say stuff like they hate their parents, but what teenagers/adults do that, i really cant understand.

arent you already mature enough to understand what they had done for us?

instead of just complaining and complaining stuff they cant give us, why cant you just appreciate what they had done for us?

for example,different people have different financial situation. if you want something that your parents cant afford, why dont you earn it yourself? instead of pestering them and posting stuff like "i hate you for not getting me the new Note II" on facebook. (not like anyone did, just an example of an immature one)

of course, maybe if the parents can afford and they refuse to give in, they must have their reasons too. perhaps the kid just doesnt deserve it.

what we couldnt see at times. their hardwork.

a mother's love example was given, so lemme give another on father's love. this was a vague memory on my part.

when i was younger, my family and i were at a mall and i wanted this rat pillow.(since my zodiac is a rat)

and my dad actually got up the wired thingy just to get me a rat pillow cos that darn design is being covered by other zodiac designs. then, i forgot how, he just fell off. for fuck's sake, why is the products so unreachable?!!

but i rmb at that time, i laughed. wtf right? after that i helped him up la. but still, then we joked abt how i was laughing first before helping him up ._. OK, main point is he is willing to climb that height to get my pillow.

see? there you have it. a father doing what he can for his daughter. really touched when i think back.

so the main main main point of this post is to say, dont be immature and hate your parents for little stuff =,=

their love for you is beyond the materialistic.oh then of course, other than good parents, there are lousy ones, where child abuse cases come in. but, that aside, i suppose i can safely assume most parents are great ones.

Appreciate them. before you lose them. remember, while you are growing older, so are they.
Another thing, it can take anyone to be a father/mother, but only someone to be a daddy/mummy. By your parents, i refer to those who took care of you, be it biological or foster.

okay, enough of serious-ness,

BYEEEE.
