for everyone
Spent the whole morning reading the book entitled - For One More Day. It is the first book that I can actually finished reading within half the day, since I am a very slow reader, always taking a long time to finish a book even though it can be rather thin.

The book put me to much thoughts, have I been a good son? The character in the story has made a list of "The times when mum stood up for me" and another list "The times when I did NOT stand up for mum" or something like that. As I reflect and think, indeed there were many times my mum had been my defender during difficult and tough times, but I was the one who brought hurts to her when that was what she didn't need at all.

I remember an occasion a year or two ago, my guitar dropped onto the ground while I was still asleep, then I found a chip on the head when I woke up. I remember that in that particular morning, she had come into my room to draw the curtain for me, but I have not remembered if she was the actual cause of what happened. Yes, my guitar fell when she drew the curtain, but did the fall actually caused the chip? I was angry with her for the day, or rather trying to be angry with her for the whole day by locking myself in the room and only speaking to her when I went to take my lunch and dinner in the kitchen. I was trying to 'hurt' her, but I knew I have indeed hurt her through my anger. I was being childish. Is the guitar actually more important than my mum?

For the past 20 years, my parents have done their part as being parents to their 3 children. Yes, there were unhappy moments, but which family doesn't? They cared for us, worked hard to provide for the family, put up with our nonsense, and even continue to love us no matter how much we have hurt them. I have a beautiful mum, and a handsome dad too. If it isn't for their love and care, I wouldn't be who I am today. I'm not the best citizen or person in the world, but I have at least lived a good 20 years under their supervision.

Time really pass by quickly without us noticing...

The merciful God has given me lovely parents...

Thanks...
