Posted under Life & Me & My Thoughts
I went to the night market with my mum earlier today. It was like many moons ago that I went out with my mum, well at least to the night market. We went to buy food and also some vegetables. I asked why buy now when we could get it in the morning during the morning market at exactly the same place. I commented was it cheaper during the night market, and the reply was yes.
I know that mum is just trying to save whatever that she can for rainy days. I know it’s a good trait and not wasting is definitely good. However I just can’t help but feel lousy. I feel lousy because I don’t seem to be able to cater for the basic needs, well at least not what I see.
I want to give my parents everything. I want them to be able to eat or even buy anything that they want without thinking so much about the cost and how expensive is it. I want to be able to forget the value of money, leaving that for me to worry.
I know it’s hard because we came from a poor background, struggling day in and day out just to make ends meet, at least my parents and siblings did. I was lucky to be better off than them. I’m still trying very hard to make life easier for them, to earn more so they can live better without worries. I guess I have not been able to do that yet.
Mum, Dad, I’m trying my best to make up whatever that I have done wrong but not with money but my sincerity. My aim is to make sure both of you can live a better after all you have done for us, me and my siblings. I want you to enjoy the rest of the days with us by your side, as a family.
I will make this day come true for you… mum and dad. I’m working hard towards it.

O.o how come my Google Reader didn’t seem to pick up your last few posts?
Well, I also hope I can provide the same for my parents too. Sighz.

That’s such a beautiful sentiment. I wish you all the best in making it a reality.

I am so touched by your post. So very touched, Z.
If your parents get to read this, they would be thrilled. You are indeed a good son and I hope your dream will come true real soon. Spending time with our parents is just as valuable.

Thanks… I doubt they will be able to read this at all
They aren’t computer literate…
But they are the gems in my life, more precious than anything in the world

U r a very filial son and I am sure your parents must be very proud of you
We all wish we could provide more for our parents in their old age, now that we are all grown up and independent.
