..ElveNarsha Times..

Have you ever thought on how to make our parents happy?

As for me.. my parents just want the best from us and to see us excel in life.. We are like an investment to them
They spend all their saving to support us in our studies and all the things that we need. Not only they spent all their money but they even pray for us to do well in school, in examination and also good result.

10 Years Later..

Do we still remember what our parent have done for us? Their sacrifices for us?

Have we repay them?

Instead of repaying, making them happy, support them back and make them feel that all their sacrifices is not waste..

We hurt them.. But in what way?

As for the eldest child.. Most probably they are already married, supporting their own family. Yes, by having a family did not even hurt the parent in any way. But did the child even remember about visiting the parent? Spent time with them? Bring their spouse and children along so that they would be closer to the parents? No. They did not even call. They are afraid.. Yes! Afraid that the parent would ask them for money.

The 2nd child.. Still working. In a relationship. Working very hard. Not enough money to go to work? They borrow their parents some $$ and promise to pay at the end of the month. At end of the month, they keep on coming back home late. Why? Trying to escape from parent as they know that their parent would ask about the money. Suddenly after a few days, they start coming back home early. Parents try asking for their money that he had borrow but they end up getting a sour face and angry phrases from the child. After that day, parent never open their mouth about the money and forget about it.. The worst part was.. This cycle keeps on going on for months and never ends.

The last child.. Still studying. Suffer a lot, thanks to her siblings.. Parents throw tantrums at them and pressure her to do well in her studies.. The parents feels that she is the only hope and the only one who can support them in the end. Putting high hopes on her and advise her not to be like the other siblings. The 3rd child put the parent in one of her task list and still on the ways to success with the support the parent gave to her.. Will she remember her task when she grows up? Hopefully she will.. To make them happy and feel that the last investment was NOT a WASTE..
