One day my friend's birthday.
"Come to the club than we are not clear, certainly not drinking, we go to
nursing home only. Bring your lunch there, we eat them? "
Long story short they are to a nursing home near the city.
There, the old people were so happy when my friends know
want to see them.
They look happy, their stories are endless.
Their stories about their past, their background, history
they could be "stuck" in a nursing home.
There was a story where his son's wife does not like to live with their in-laws
them, so the child is forced to entrust her parents in a nursing home.
A grandfather also lived there after his wife died, and he
no children, his nieces and nephews also no one wants
accommodate him.
There are stories about the old man who had struggled menguliahkan
their children abroad but he does not return to his parents' house, she did not
had visited his father, even though money was never sent.
My friends were very touched to hear their stories.
Also he was very surprised when the old man advised him: "if you have
later married and have kids, do not give all the money that we have
to our children. We must also save for yourself, make time
old, when their children turned out as we are not clever. "he said.
On the way home by car, none of which speaks ..
"Hey I'm on this birthday. Koq instead to make a sad, eh?"
"Yes, really thrilled. I feel guilty deh. However, I often
my parents deem not important. "
"Iya nih, invites you wearing of us to a nursing home. Make us feel
gini guilty? "
Perhaps the story of the old man said, we are furious with the children do not know
had benefited.
Prodigal son.
Not clever as their parents.
But Did you know we are, why are many children like that? What they really
parents do not care about them?
What lest we as parents not really care about our children?
There was a day of busy parents who work, children wake up, we were not there
homes, they cry till exhausted and fell asleep again.
There also are not concerned with their school.
They do not ever ask, "How was school today? Diajarin what
aja? "
They taunya only pay school fees and signature 'test results.
Take report cards?
Ah, biarin aja driver or grandmother, there's an important representative.
Did we?
Our children are not a long time.
We only have 12 years with them.
The rest, they are owned by their friends, their girlfriends, their jobs,
wives / husbands, and children of their own.
Maybe this time we are bored with their cries at night.
We're tired of those who are just learning to monitor the road. Road here, the road
over there, get this, put one there; wishes to dispose the goods
bin, scratch scratch important documents.
Torn magazines on the couch.
Ran to a neighbor, up and up the stairs.
Swallowing objects not clear.
We probably got confused because the little guy.
There recitation schedule, the same confused kids who want ninggalin.
KKR and friends invited to join the seminar?
"Wow .. Myspace toddler who ngurus?"
Let alone a seminar outside the city, in the city alone was confusion.
Each day ask dibacain tale-it aja. Not if we go to
supermarket, ask for candy is, the ball is, get up in panda-Pandaan
timezone.
Chimed in to take the goods, to home, "Lah? Did not take the feelings of
these goods in the supermarket? Oalah? The little guy. Basic! "
I'm bored, waiting for their homework, ditungguin If not, definitely
daydream, pictures of cars, robots, steal-steal of view of watching TV.
I'm bored menyocokan their records with records of other friends.
FAQ bored with them before restarting.
I'm bored ngeluarin told them to drink from a bottle washed the same let the bag
aunt.
If it was not you who spend the night, certainly in the morning rush.
Pickup has come, your child is not ready.
When they want to think?
Told to eat later.
Sent a shower, later.
Told to turn off the TV and sleep, "soon ma!"
Sent ngejadwal night, "tomorrow morning aja ma!"
Tau do not eat chikinanti given cough, uh tetep just snack on chiki
school.
If you have a cough, you would not want to take it to the doctor and buy medicine.
Minimum of 100,000 run out.
Whereas chiki cuman 2000.
Not if to inflammation, you yourself have to keep him at home.
Maybe we're all going through these things.
We're bored.
Big fast kids want it, can bantuin watch store, can be left
themselves at home.
Can take food into the neighbor's house, can take their own vehicle, not
need a ride shuttle again.
But we realize?
Someday we'll miss the times when they were kids. When people
at a party invitation that says, "ugh .. so cute son ..."
When you're tired and told them to trample on your back.
When they perform in the school play and you proudly say, "Uh,
which so Abudullah was my child. "
When they wear clothing in the area of Kartini Day.
When they cry at night because your child was thirsty and asked the
buatin milk by the mother / father.
When your in-laws teralu pamper little one, until you pissed yourself
with the way they educate your child.
You'll miss it all.
Only 12 years old!
The rest they belonged to someone else.
12 years did not even get more than 1 / 5 of their lives.
Enjoy all this.
Give them to the wider attention.
Surely we must also set an example to them.
They will record all our deeds.
The ways we talk to our parents who have started to dementia,
the way we take care of our parents at home.
The way we invite our parents check up at the lab.
They also record the way we shout out a greeting us into our parents
that began less hearing, the way we grumble behind
our parents are so incredibly fussy after recovering from a stroke.
The way we say: "Yeah Maaaaaaaaaaaa?" (In a tone that, ah, of course
You alone know how often we say this sentence when
trying to hold our annoyance!)
We do not know the future, whether our children will be clever with us, or
kicker.
It is, of course we always pray for him to be a person, not a child
ungodly.
All we can do now is to not become parents
ungodly.
And of course by example to them, how
treating the elderly.
With practice it to the parents of our own!
To be sure, reap sow law also applies in this area!
